Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Brian McHugh:

We very much welcome the new office. As I said, we made submissions that it should be a new office and that it should not be with the CCPC. We think this is very welcome. The UTP directive and what it is trying to achieve is important and it is also important that there is an office to enforce it. In terms of who should be responsible, as we said in our submissions, we very much welcome this.
