Mr. Kevin McPartlan:

The document was published two years ago and we are currently gathering data for the second phase, which we expect to publish in the autumn of this year. In addition to analysing the impact of reformulation it will look at two other things, namely, the impact of package size changes and fortification. Reformulation is not just about what is taken out. There may be an increased need for particular nutrients and we are also capturing data from food companies fortifying their products. Putting on the green jersey seems to have been quite unpopular in recent weeks but Ireland is the only country in the world which has a report along these lines and that is because of the IUNA data. They allow us to look not just at the quantities of nutrients sold but at those consumed. We presented the document at the OECD. It is a very significant piece of work in an area in which Ireland is leading the world.
