Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Unfair Trading Practices: Discussion

Ms Christine Tacon:

Except it has made a big difference in the UK in how the retailers are treating their suppliers. On the overall principle of fairness, which is paragraph 2 of the code, I have always said that there is no such thing as a breach of not being fair, there must be a breach of that and a delay in payment or not compensating people for forecasting. There must be more specifics underneath.
