198. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position Ireland will take on forthcoming EU proposals on food labelling, particularly in light of concerns about the potential impact on traditional Irish products and producers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44573/26]

Clarity is required from the Deputy in relation to which EU proposals he is referring to. Subject to receiving this clarity, a considered reply can be supplied or the PQ may transfer to the Department of Health, who are the lead Department in relation to food labelling.
