Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements. - Regulatory Reform: Motion.

 

An area about which I have been concerned over the past 12 months, and on which I contacted the Competition Authority, is the beef industry. There is a view abroad that a cartel is working in that industry. Farmers are dissatisfied with the consistently low prices being paid for their quality of product and the same prices are being paid across the entire industry and in all the factories. It is obvious that there is some type of arrangement in the industry to maintain prices at a certain level.
