My understanding is that there is adequate legislation but the problem is the impounding of products. There is concern that the EU regulations, which we have followed very carefully, involve a technicality about the impounding of counterfeit pesticide. The issue has been raised at European level. I do not know whether there is a proposal to introduce amending regulations to deal with it. It has not been a problem and the Minister has given a very comprehensive reply, for which I thank him and his staff. My only issue is that if such products are found we have the right to infringe them.
