During the coming weeks I will be consulting with the social partners with a view to introducing the model best suited to Irish requirements from the point of view of maximising efficiency, competitiveness and protecting the rural economy. I will also invite submissions from wider interest groups and the public generally before reaching a conclusion. I intend to keep the arrangements under close review, particularly in the light of the facility under the agreement which provides for a review by the Commission of the operation of the new arrangements after the first two years, with a view to dealing with its possible impact on structural reform and markets.
