I move amendment No. 6:

In page 11, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following: “(2) Such analysis and published reports should contain appropriate and relevant reference to and contrast with price and market data available internationally.”

This amendment is directly related to No. 5. I am not pressing it but we ask the Minister to review that and on Report Stage we would be happy to look at any language that would mandate An Rialálaí Agraibhia to ensure we have a regulatory body that is in a position to end the long-standing practice of farmers being forced to sell at below the cost of production. The only way that can be done is if the information is collated.
