Mr. Liam Moloney:

It is not advertised because the regulations do not oblige that. The regulations are very clear for anybody who looks at them that anyone can apply at any time. We are the approved body and, therefore, must go officially for reapproval every five years. As I said earlier, last year was the most recent time we did that. It is a very extensive process that took six months. We submitted a detailed application to the Department in terms of our operational, financial and corporate governance performance over the past five years. We had to map out the coming five years under the same headings and consider how we are going to perform. It is an extensive process.

Some of the changes are worth mentioning. I have been with the IFFPG for 13 years. When I started, the recycling target was 50% and it has gone to 70% over that period of time. The name of the game is to increase the recycling level. We are here to provide a comprehensive service to farmers to recycle as much as possible and do it all within the context of good financial well-being and corporate governance.
