In line with normal legislative practice, a wide range of legislation in the agriculture sector is enforced by “authorised officers” appointed for that purpose. Such officers include staff of my Department, members of the Garda Síochána and Officers of Customs and Excise. Staff in my Department’s Investigation Unit are authorised officers similar to other officers in my Department to exercise inspection functions in relation to the national and EU legislation listed in the table below. Authorisation under EU legislation is achieved by way of authorisation under the corresponding implementing national legislation.
