The ninth meeting of the Beef Taskforce, which was held last Thursday, was presented with three consultancy reports commissioned on market transparency issues.
The first two reports produced by Grant Thornton, on competition law in the beef sector, and on market specifications and requirements have already been published and are available on the Department’s website.
