I propose to take Questions Nos. 1118 to 1121, inclusive, together.
I appreciate the impact that recent developments in the ongoing WTO-adjudicated Airbus and Boeing disputes have had on the Irish feed importers. On 9th November 2020, the EU decided to impose tariffs on a range of US exports to the EU, including beet pulp and cane molasses. These tariffs became effective on 10th November 2020. It should be noted that one of the EU's criteria for product selection, in this instance, is that the EU is not reliant on the US for the supply of these particular products.
There are no plans to put measures in place to support the industry as a result of the imposition of these tariffs.
Questions regarding international trade are primarily a matter for the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. As a general proposition, however, Ireland's position on the Airbus/Boeing dispute has been that such matters are better resolved, where possible, without recourse to retaliatory tariffs.
