Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Pat Murphy:

Yes. The economic operators will have to record what comes in and goes out, from importers and wholesalers to retailers.

At the farmer level, for clarity, on the point of dispatch it is recorded again. That is exactly as the Deputy describes it. We have a concern about a few of the issues he has outlined. A substantial number of farmers will come to their advisers to get this task done. I cannot imagine that we would be charging them specifically for that because it is part of the contract we would have with them. We will deal with that.
