[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7371565, member: 23184"] Ah great, Mr Papworth is active on here so should presumably be getting push notifications from tff that he's been tagged. Kit, as one of the NFU guys on the board, you (and other NFU board members) are the farmers' voice on the board. Would you at all mind reading through some of this thread and commenting please. Specifically on why NFU have repeatedly campaigned for imports to meet our standards, whilst NFU at helm of RT are pushing more and more RT standards on us, yet the assurance scheme rules allow non farm assured imported grains into UK mills and crushers, but RT, AIC and UFAS specifically require UK combinables going to those destinations to be RT assured. The above is disadvantaging UK producers and decreasing our competitiveness. Would NFU and yourself as a NFU representative on the RT cereals board please explain your policy, and what you propose to do about this situation. It's not tenable, and we need a way forward. Thank you for your time, and for hopefully explaining this situation to RT. it would be good if you could contact RT about this ASAP (rather than waiting for the next board meeting. [USER=4630]@Guy Smith[/USER] we need answers, and we need them now. We know you're on here, please give us the courtesy to reply. You're the chairman. Please be a chairman fit for purpose and address the issue. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
