I move amendment No. 44:

In page 21, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following: “(2) Within the first national food waste prevention strategy, the Minister shall set annual food waste reduction targets, sector by sector, to reach the 50 per cent food waste reduction target by 2030, based on 2020 food waste figures.”.

The amendment relates to the national food waste prevention strategy, setting targets sector by sector and outlining an approach to reaching the 50% food waste reduction target by 2030 using 2020 food waste figures as a baseline.

Amendment No. 46 relates to a progress report. It is similar to previous amendments. Amendment No. 47 relates to empowerment, while amendment No. 50 relates to annual publication of the strategy and progress report.
