'Irresponsible' to lack all-island approach to new vet meds and fertiliser rules
The recording of fertiliser sales data at farm level will facilitate traceability and monitoring of quantities and types of fertiliser used over time.
A 32-county approach "is far better for all aspects of food production", and no more so than in the sale of veterinary medicines and fertiliser, a TD has said.
The Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2023 is being debated this week with TDs raising various concerns, including the lack of an all-island approach, farmer data collection and retention, and administrative burdens.
