Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Organic Farming Scheme: Bord Bia

2:00 pm

Ms Eileen Bentley:

On whether Bord Bia could certify, there is not much of an overlap as regards who is certified through our quality scheme and by the organic certification bodies. I hope duplication and double payments are at the absolute minimum. The criteria applied to organic produce are very different from the quality mark criteria applied by Bord Bia. Whether they could be easily assimilated into the quality mark is a bigger question.
