Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

This is ongoing research that has not been fully evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority, which will make recommendations to the Commission for consideration. It would be imprudent of me to pre-empt the outcome of the research. We will adhere to any recommendations from the European Food Safety Authority to the Commission. I have not been in touch with the authority but the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and the Department are in constant contact with it about any issues that may arise.
