Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. Tom Medlycott:
As Mr. Ryan outlined, there are a number of meetings. There will be two meetings every month between now and May on this directive, as I understand it. The Belgian Presidency has proposed it. In the initial meetings, quite a lot of issues have been raised by member states, so I cannot say at this stage whether this will bring it to a conclusion. If it does not, it is at a stage that if it does not get through with the current parliament, it will start again.
