I am aware of the work that the task force has done on the issue of getting the agreement the witnesses have spoken about, as well as the efforts the Department is putting in to bring this PGI application over the line. It would be a travesty if at the end of the day, the PGI status simply became another “inspect bonus” or that in other words, it became a penalty for those who do not reach it as opposed to an additional price for those that do. What, if any, examination or overview was taken to ensure this does not become the case?
