We appreciate the witnesses’ contributions today, as well as the papers they gave us. These will form part of our preparation of a report, which we intend to take to the Commission in Brussels. Our last witnesses will be the EPA, which will do its latest report at the end of May or the beginning of June. When we get its submission, we will put the report together and we hope to take that to Brussels.

I really appreciate the very thoughtful and insightful presentations. On behalf of the committee, I want to thank the four groups that came to us this evening.

I will now move the adjournment. The next public meeting of the committee will be at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 10 April, when the committee will engage with the chairperson designate of Bord Bia and will receive a briefing from the Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, DG AGRI, regarding the antitrust guidelines for sustainability agreements and agriculture. As there is no further business, the meeting now stands adjourned.
