[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 8108893, member: 430"] This is what scared me about the interpretation of the quoted comment by NFU: "The NFU accepts the importance of regulation in underpinning high standards, but it needs to be part of an overall system which includes voluntary approaches where appropriate, and that is designed to strike a balance between necessary protections, for instance of the environment or consumers, and the cost on businesses" It could be considered to read: "The NFU thinks regulation is important in maintaining high standards, but we also need to add our own voluntary measures on top via Red Tractor to keep our guys in on the gravy train, and we are doing this under the guise of looking after the environment and consumers but most importantly our corporate sponsors interests because this pays us better than farmers". I very much hope I'm wrong....but based on past history I've become rather cynical and tend to read between the lines. [/QUOTE]
