Mr. Aidan Cahill:

I will come in on that. I want to flag that the process of working towards this legislation has been ongoing for a number of years. It was first announced as part of the farm-to-fork initiative. A mandate was sent to the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, by the Commission two or three years ago. It produced its scientific opinion which has formed the basis of much of this legislation. At every stage along the line, we flagged this to our stakeholders and consulted them to hear their views. We marked their cards, one might say, regarding what we think might end up in the legislation so that we can be clear of their position and so they can inform our position. We have been consulting with them for three years. We meet with them directly, as well as through the calf stakeholder forum. We meet with them under the auspices of Bord Bia’s annual meeting on animal welfare during transport. We network with them at quite a significant level.
