Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Edel McEvoy:
With regard to the assessment and impact analysis of the other member states, Germany and Sweden have only start their assessments recently and they have seen that there is an impact on food security and timber production. However, given how recent the proposal is, it has not really had an opportunity to sway or influence agricultural policy yet.
