Amharc ar fhreagraThe Farm to Fork Strategy is currently under development by the EU Commission. The Strategy is scheduled for publication later this month.
The Commission have advised that no impact assessment will be carried out ahead of the adoption of the strategy as a whole. They have also advised that Relevant Better Regulation tools will be applied to the individual initiatives of the strategy. Impact assessments will be carried out where such initiatives are expected to produce significant environmental, social or economic impacts.
