I wish to mention one further important issue, namely, Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This guarantees farmers a fair price for their labour. I would like to see the Minister, through Commissioner Hogan, raise this issue. There are no regulations in place to prevent the kind of anti-fair trade practices that are being implemented under the cloak of specifications, by UK multiples in particular. This is something we need to look at.
