As I recently advised the Deputy, all of Bord Bia’s Quality Assurance Schemes are audited by independent auditor bodies which have been selected following a public procurement process in accordance with the relevant EU Directives.
In accordance with EU law, nationality is not a criteria which can be differentiated upon under the procurement process.
