Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion
Mr. Miche?l O'Mahony:
The answer is "No". The regulation is worded such that 5% of landings, plural, means we have to conduct these types of controls on all of some of the landings. It is not sufficient to do it on some of all the landings. The control panel refers directly to inspections according to Article 107 being done in this way. Because it pivots back to Article 107, the answer to the Deputy's question, in the context of the regulations that the Legislature, including the Oireachtas, has given to us to implement, is "No".
