As I explained in the Dáil previously, it has been a priority for me to ensure that the BSE related restrictions on our live cattle trade to Egypt and Libya are removed. I met the Egyptian Minister for Agriculture, Dr. Wally, in Cairo on 28 September. I also met the Minister for Trade and Supply, Dr. Goweily.
