I ask the witnesses who are most equipped to answer the various questions to respond rather than everybody feeling they must say something on everything, which would not be appropriate as we are under time restrictions. The issues raised include import substitution, food production, salary scales, training programmes, competition from other member states post-2013, taxes on consumer foods, enforcing a statutory code of practice, threats to achieving the 2020 targets, food safety and the impact of increased production on small farmers.
