I will be speaking to my amendment, amendment No. 12, which is grouped with amendment No. 7. The most important amendment in respect of the regulator and the easiest one for the Minister to accept is amendment No. 10 which provides that the regulator would be empowered to determine what the cost of production is.
To give an explanation, first in regard to amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 14, as I said, I advised on Committee Stage that I would accept an amendment similar to the amendment that is now being proposed by Deputy Kerrane. Therefore, my amendment No. 2 to amendment No. 14 substitutes the Deputy's term "agri-food" with the words "agricultural and food" so that the amendment reads as follows: "In paragraph (d), to delete “agri-food” and substitute “agricultural and food”".
