Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
In accordance with European Union law we do that. We meet our requirements. We have staff at ports, and I will come back to the Deputy with the costs, to check these matters in accordance with European Union law. Products and plants that come in are certified by the States from which they come. That is the way the system works. We apply those biosecurity rules. However, they are not perfect, as no system can be perfect when dealing with a disease.
