Irish Fish Processors & Exporters Association Calls on Marine Minister to Stand Up to EU Commission
2nd May 2021
The Irish Fish Processors & Exporters Association has described as draconian and brutal the European Commission s decision to withdraw from the Irish industry the derogation it had held to weigh fish at factories rather than landing ports
The Irish Fish Processors and Exporters Association has called on the Minister for the Marine to do his duty and stand up for the industry he is mandated to represent.
The Chief Executive of the Association, Brendan Byrne, has described as draconian and brutal the European Commission s decision to withdraw from the Irish industry the derogation it had held to weigh fish at factories rather than landing ports. The Commission has cited suspicion of fraud in the process, which is rejected by the IFPEA, to justify its decision. There are 160 processing companies in Ireland.
