Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Given that the Minister has had a long time to consider this issue and in view of the uncertainty it is creating in the grocery trade for consumers and suppliers as well as for people in the retail trade, does the Minister accept there is a need for clarity and an early decision on this matter? I welcome his statement that we will have a result by the end of October. What is the Minister's view on predatory pricing and below-cost selling and will he share it with the House?
