Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Dr. Cecil Beamish:

We do not deal directly with the Scottish salmon industry but I have seen commentary indicating that it has concerns about market access. It exports heavily to the European market and it is a very big industry in Scotland.
