Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Organic Farming Scheme: Bord Bia
2:00 pm
Mr. Mark Zieg:
By "we" I do not mean Bord Bia but the organic bodies. The people involved, who are members of those organisations, have decided to go this way.
Bord Bia does not currently have a role on that side of things. However, in terms of quality assurance, we are now over a number of different sectors at a number of different levels. We have demonstrated that we are quite prepared to add on and to look at that aspect, if the bodies want us to do that.
