I move amendment No. 22:
In page 7, subsection (1), line 17, to delete "export".
The effect of this amendment will be to put all the promotional activities of An Bord Glas within the sphere of An Bord Bia. Under the terms of this Bill, An Bord Bia will be responsible for promoting food consumption in general, and meat in particular, on the home market. However, it will not be empowered to promote the sale of edible horticultural produce on the home market. The Minister's amendment to the definition section states that edible horticultural produce means fruit and vegetables, whether fresh or processed, including potatoes, herbs, edible fungi and nuts, and also includes honey. I do not see the logic behind establishing An Bord Bia, while at the same time not giving it the power to promote edible horticultural produce on the home market and confining them to the export market. If we proceed with the Bill, as proposed, An Bord Bia will be able to promote bacon, but not cabbage, on the home market.
