Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Management Information Technology Systems: Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. Barry Lynch:

Clearly, the competition directorate general has a significant workload. The two goals Mr. Lynskey and I set ourselves a year ago were to make a presentation to the joint committee and to follow through with the issue before the competition directorate general. Over the past year, we have communicated with a number of Deputies and Members of the European Parliament who have written to the directorate general. The issue is very much on the system and moving along quite well. We should receive some feedback in the next few weeks, although it is difficult to determine when we will receive it as the system is slow.
