Legislation on food supply chain ‘a blow to unfair practices’ says MEP

EUROPEAN intentions to introduce legislation for the food supply chain have been hailed as a step in the right direction.

Ireland East Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness has welcomed EU Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, Antonio Tajani’s statement that the Commission reserves the right to legislate for problems in the food supply chain if talks between stakeholders fail to yield results.

Ms McGuinness hailed Mr Tajani’s comments in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg yesterday as a blow to “unfair and unethical practices”.
