This new body will be monitoring European prices and monitoring a lot of other different things. Does Mr. Dillon think it would raise an eyebrow that up to one year ago, retailers and factories had a lot of different specifications around the 30-month rule, the movements and all of the other stuff around Bord Bia quality assured specs? I assume it is the same people eating the same food in the last year so it is funny then to see all of a sudden, when the volume was not around, that the specification of 30-month rule changed, and the four movements could then be five or eight, and the quality assurance did not matter and you got a flat price. How come the retailers could adjust to that overnight when it was alleged that it was them who required these specs for their consumers when they were giving the same stuff out to the consumers the last year?
