Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion
5:00 pm
Dr. Avril Hobson:
Some have issued from the Commission and a couple of member states have been notified. Some fraud alerts are between two member states. All of those have come out since the "RTÉ Investigates" programme. We would not necessarily be privy to all of them. We would not be privy to the details of an alert between two member states but we are aware of a number of other fraud alerts. I completely agree with all the statements that have been made about traceability. It is en EU-wide problem; hence the meeting that was called today.
