The Monitoring Committee for the 2005-2007 Charter of Rights for Farmers met a number of times under an independent chairman, Dr. Noel Cawley. For each meeting of the committee, officials of my Department provided updates on progress on meeting the commitments covered by the Charter. In general, the farming organisations were satisfied with the results. A new Customer Charter is currently been drawn up in consultation with the Social Partner farming organisations.
