Vol. 560 No. 1

Written Answers. - Beef Importers and Distributors.

Phil Hogan

Question:

252 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the names of the importers and distributors of imported beef; the quantities of each product type; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1981/03]

The Central Statistics Office is responsible for the collection of statistics in relation to imports. The total amount of beef imported in 2001, the last full year for which statistics are available, was 17,310 tonnes of which 8,385 tonnes was imported directly from third countries. The CSO does not collect details of the names of importers and distributors of beef.

Under the provisions of regulations 5(1) of S.I. No. 289 of 1994, the European Communities (Trade In Animals and Animal Products) Regulations 1994, my Department maintains a register of importers of animals and animal products. Animal products include all meats and food products made there from, milk, milk products, blood, plasma, hair etc. Applicants to this register are invited to indicate which of the following categories are most appropriate to the type of business they are or intend to be engaged in: dealers in imported animals, semen, ova, embryos, poultry and hatching eggs; persons who may accept delivery of as consignees of imported animals, semen, ova, embryos, poultry and hatching eggs; and persons who may accept delivery as consignees of products of animal origin.
Out of a total of 761 importers who have registered under these provisions the following table lists 554 who have declared that category (c) is appropriate to the type of business carried on by them. There is no sub-categorisation within this register in respect of different animal based products.
