Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Ms Sinéad McPhillips:
Commissioner Hogan has brought forward a series of measures at EU level aimed at strengthening the position of the producer in the supply chain, including the unfair trading practices directive. There is also the increasing use of dashboards to provide better and more transparent information on pricing across the system. While none of those threads are the magic bullet to strengthen the position of the producer, we hope that in combination they should have some effect.
