Mr. James Gavin:

It is important to emphasise the point of having a regulated status for some companies and the economic impact it can have if they do not comply with the regulations. We have seen recent examples of known consigners that can secure their own goods at source. If their security programmes are not in compliance with the regulation, they cannot supply their goods. A razor shellfish producer could not put his goods on the supply chain for the Far East, and this had an immediate regulatory impact on that entity.
