Ms Angela Robinson:

Under the market transparency rules at EU level, additional reporting requirements were brought in for member states, transposed by the Minister last year in SI 449 of 2021. That requires additional information regarding the selling price, which is the price at which a processor sells the product, and the buying price, which is the price at which the retailer buys in. Under these new additional price-reporting requirements, the selling and buying prices are required for beef meat, forequarters, hindquarters, beef minced meat, poultry cuts, drinking milk, butters - retailers are required to submit the price they buy butter at - and fat-filled powder.
