Earlier this year, my officials met with DG Enterprise in the EU Commission to explore the possibility of greater Irish involvement in the newly established forum to oversee the implementation of the recommendations High Level Group on the competitiveness of the EU Agri Food Industry. On foot of this meeting, I have recently written to Commissioner Tajani requesting that Ireland be included in the list of members of the group. I understand that the final membership of the forum is not yet finalised.
