Dairy Sector.
1:00 pm
Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)
To what extent does the Minister believe that the commodification of dairy products and the fact that they are tradeable commodities has an effect on the markets and on the price of milk for Irish farmers? This should be taken into account. Are there discussions at EU level or within the WTO framework to tackle the fact that commodification is causing great vagaries in prices? That is having an impact on the market here.
