EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Anna Daly:
I thank Senator Paul Daly for his questions. He asked what role farm organisations have been playing in regard to regulation. Since 2015, the IFA has identified the key areas of concern with the regulations as being categorisation, supply routes, the prescribing process and access to antibiotics. We have continually raised those concerns with the Minister, MEPs and senior Department officials, yet we are still here having to deal with them in this Bill.
