"Mr President, I would like to use this opportunity to again highlight the obstacles being placed on free trade by the National Dairy Council’s ‘Farmed in the Republic of Ireland’ labelling campaign in the Republic of Ireland.
This campaign continues to discriminate against Northern Ireland dairy produce. I have previously brought this issue up before Parliament and the Commission because I feel strongly that country-of-origin labelling should not be used to create a protectionist policy. Consumers should have the freedom of choice as to what they buy.
The National Dairy campaign is also extremely shortsighted. By excluding one part of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland is jeopardising its largest market: Great Britain. In this context, I feel this debate should focus on better enforcement of current policy in order to create a level playing field. This is what the single market should be about."@en1
