Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Mr. Cara Mac Aodh?in:

With regard to traceability, NGTs are deemed equivalent to conventional varieties and therefore the proposal as it stands is that labelling would only go to seed stage and that is to allow for organic farmers to have the choice to not use NGT varieties.
