I do not agree with the Deputy. We have given consideration to this matter and discussed it on Second Stage. There are no obstacles. The requirements in terms of somebody buying fertiliser north of the Border is the same as somebody buying fertiliser south of the Border. It is just that a person must record and keep a record of whatever fertiliser is on his or her farm, and ensure that the fertiliser is included on the database. Whether a person buys fertiliser in the North or the South, the situation is the same. There is a legal obligation on the person who buys fertiliser to record the purchase and ensure there is an accurate update of the database. What do the Deputies seek to achieve with their amendment? What do they believe should happen?
