Mr. Pat McCormack:

It would be far better if there were enforced fair trading practices rather than encouraged fair trading practices. It is imperative that we have that. Mr. McDonald is correct that the people dealing with the retailers are not in a position to acquire the uplift that was in the marketplace. We had a meeting of the EMB in the past couple of weeks and that is a common theme across Europe for people selling to retailers. The passback was not coming with the improvement in the marketplace. It is not confined to this island. This will have a significant impact on family farm production across Europe if it is not dealt with in a significant and enforced manner.
