Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Sharon Murphy:

Within GAEC 7, there is a request we had asked for. As I said, this is an ongoing process.

Further meetings, for instance, will take place in June to look at the implementing regulations that come out of that. We will be engaged in that process. Discussions have taken place about other issues, such as what we call genuine human errors and dealing with those. We are still discussing all of those points. It is an ongoing process, and we will continue to engage with the Commission on that basis. Engagement is constant, to be honest, and does not only relate to this proposal but is something we always do. We are still discussing those particular issues and administrative points.
