I move amendment No. 13:

In page 13, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:

“(4) The regulator may at any time request comment from interested parties on any aspect of a code of practice submitted under this section.”.

This is to insert the proposition that the regulator may at any time request comment from interested parties on any aspect of a code of practice submitted under this section. Therefore, if a code of practice drawn up by a processor is intended to encourage compliance with unfair trading practices, prevent the exploitation of producers and reduce the level of formal complaints, then it would be helpful for the regulator to be able to ask producers for their views on any proposed code of practice.
