Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion
Mr. Paschal Hayes:
The SFPA's duty is to implement the laws passed by this House, encompassing both Irish and EU regulations. Committee members are no doubt aware that weighing provisions are among the considerations of an ongoing revision of the EU fishery control regulation. If new or amended laws and regulations pertaining to the sea fisheries and seafood sectors are passed by this Oireachtas, the SFPA will implement them. Until then, we will discharge the duties set out for the organisation as set out by this House.
