Nobody here or involved in production would have any issue if we had equivalence across the board, but we do not. It is all very well to have very progressive regulations on animal health and safety and produce within the EU, but the difficultly is that ingredients come from outside which do not have the stringent traceability or environmental controls. I do not believe the EU regulations are even examining this. I might be wrong and I hope I am.
