Text

The Minister is aware that labelling on various agricultural goods says, "Not for sale within the EU". Will the Minister take the opportunity, during his North/South talks, to suggest introducing labelling of goods in the Irish Republic that says, "Not for sale in the UK"? That would prevent Mercosur goods contaminating the Northern Ireland market, which is something that most Northern Ireland farmers would like to see.
