[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7873675, member: 23184"] Can't remember the figures exactly, but need something like 3,000 signatures for cereals (or was it 3,800, can't remember), or about 700 signatures for oilseed growers. Think they should have paid levy in past 12 months. I really wonder if AHDB are going to work for levy payers, or just cosy up to RT. They are guarantors to RT. No-one seems to want to say if they part own them or not. What we do know is that there are 2 X board meetings concerning RT. One is the straightforward RT board meeting. The other is the ownership meeting. If I understand correctly, AHDB had been paying them a sub because RT had a black hole in their accounts. RT went running off to AHDB pleading poverty, AHDB thought they'd better help out because they didn't want RT to get into financial trouble and AHDB like the idea of one solid recognised assurance brand. So AHDB decided to give RT some cash to be used to help pay for auditing the licensees factories (licensees being the processors/packers who use the RT brand on their packaging). Supposedly the idea and justification for giving the sub for this specific reason was that it would help with the reputation of the RT brand because the factories would be audited correctly. Edit. Surely the licensees would have paid their license fee, so that should have covered the cost of auditing in that license fee? So why would AHDB use levy payers money for this specific reason?
