Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

2:00 am

Ms Maria Dunne:

No. The regulation we are discussing refers to the unfair trading practices. It does not refer to the market transparency and price reporting function of the Agri-Food Regulator, which is entirely different from its unfair trading practices function. This legislation in Europe only refers to its unfair trading practices function. The function the Deputy is talking about came out of primary legislation in Ireland.
