I thank the Minister for his detailed reply. In any changing situation, Irish producers will look at the global situation within and outside the EU to try to ensure they are being treated the same as others. I refer particularly to countries that might have an advantage accruing to them from the use, misuse or ability to avoid some of the impositions on the agri-food sector here. I ask the Minister to continue to ensure that we are able to trade on a level playing pitch and that the same rules apply to those countries that compete with our producers in the open market, wherever the market may be, in this country or in other third countries.
