[QUOTE="AIMS, post: 7479545, member: 157044"] Don't think it's a question of sacking people. The full list of RT directors can be seen here: [URL='https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04913846/officers']ASSURED FOOD STANDARDS - Officers (free information from Companies House) (company-information.service.gov.uk)[/URL] Surely it should be about lobbying some of them to drive change. Remember, 50% of their income is derived from Farmers and you need to get your voice heard. the NFU has recently published it's 8 Principals for the Red Tractor: [LIST=1] [*]Continue to retain trust and support growth in the domestic market for British food. [*]Provide an assurance platform for growth in the export market for British food and ensure high value exports have robust assurance supporting traceability claims. [*]Retain its leading position on cost effective assurance and protect members from inspection and regulatory duplication. Any additional costs associated with implementing new standards should be supported with a clear and simple cost benefit analysis or business case. [*]Be empowered to challenge duplicity within the marketplace and not facilitate the hypocrisy of buyers sourcing policies which undermines domestic standards. [*]Seek to add value through segmentation and market differentiation where there is a need to deliver different value propositions to different markets, without inflating the core standard and eroding value to scheme members. [*]Provide marketing choice for buyers. Scheme options, or bolt-ons, could provide competition for cost-effective or a more practicable alternative for brands and scheme members alike. [*]Provide a viable but discretionary alternative to new or increasing regulatory burdens and it should deliver efficient. solutions in areas that are susceptible to regulatory burdens. [*]Explore the opportunities for inspections to be driven by outcomes and data, and where possible reduce the burden of inspection and add value back to farmers. [/LIST] Choose the ones you support are drive the directors towards delivering them [/QUOTE]
