[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 8202371, member: 3566"] This is what I think happened. BSE knocked public confidence in British meat. The NFU thought RT would be a good idea to build faith back into British produce. It worked well for a few years. A simple assurance fetching a small premium. Then it all started to go wrong. I'm guessing the supermarkets threatened to pull all support which would have killed RT. So RT went cap-in-hand to the supermarkets asking what they could do to get them to continue. This led to the never ending wish-list and to the nefarious policy of making RT effectively compulsory. Assurance schemes only work if the costs of increased standards are passed to those asking for them. If buyers had to pay 0.5p/ kg 0r 0.5p/l for every standard, how many requirements would there be left? [/QUOTE]
