This is an EU-wide programme and all 28 member states are required to agree to it. The reason it is in place is to give confidence to everyone concerned. If he was here, the key issue the Minister would raise is that there was potential for agreement on a code of practice here. The way in which it can be activated is through the Marine Institute. Perhaps the Senator might ask the growers concerned to re-engage with the institute to see if we could resolve the issue.
