As the Taoiseach will be aware, in the programme for Government there is a commitment to ensure that the Irish agrifood sector finds new markets and develops everywhere around the world. In recent days, we have an issue in regard to Brazilian beef and poultry. There is a scandal in that country where they find that there are many people being bribed and so on to allow substandard product be exported. I understand the European Commission today has banned the importation into Europe from four companies involved in this. In the context of the commitment from the Government to ensure that the finest quality Irish product is exported and competes fairly around the world, will the Taoiseach ensure that the European Commission bans all meat product from Brazil and undertakes a review of the standards of food coming from non-European countries?

Freagra gairid.

I am not clear what Deputy Kenny is trying to ban here. I am aware of the decision by the European Commission today. In so far as Ireland is concerned, our Origin Green of Bord Bia and exports in the food sector are of the highest integrity. They have to be because this is an island nation and we have to export. I am not sure whether the Deputy's question is to ban everything from Brazil.

Yes, all meat products from Brazil until this is cleared up.

These standards are monitored on a very regular basis. We do not have a Mercosur deal. That is an issue that Europe will consider in due course. These standards are monitored.

They are being breached.

Decisions are taken, as were taken this morning.
