I move amendment No. 13:
I know the Minister has gone some way in the Dáil towards accepting a similar amendment. I do not believe there is enough protection for primary producers, particularly in the grocery and agriculture trade. I think we are missing an opportunity. The Minister has gone some way towards this by including production and accepting a similar amendment or proposing his own amendment in the Dáil. Could the Minister please clarify that?
In page 85, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following:“(a) having regard to the importance of and impact to the economic viability and sustainability of primary producers the decisions made at processing and/or retail level,”.
