Debate
Official Controls (Plant Health) and Phytosanitary Conditions (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
That moves us on to the question of whether, as the Government assure us, the EU has been very assiduous in protecting itself from this bug. If it has been, and it has protected Ireland from it, why do we need to protect ourselves from a disease that does not exist in Ireland? Why do we need any controls at the GB/Northern Ireland border, other than to satisfy the desire of our EU partners to be regulatory hegemons?
