Should rules for agricultural businesses be relaxed to boost rural economies?

DUP "... farm businesses continue to operate under a costly and burdensome set of rules from the European Institutions and indeed our own Agriculture Department. Diane Dodds has voted against unnecessary bureaucratic burdens such as some aspects of sheep EID. The DUP will continue to try and protect our local industry from over regulation from Brussels."

Liberal Democrat The Liberal Democrats do not have any “theological” opposition to genetically modified foods, the agriculture minister has said, paving the way for Britain to relax the rules on controversial biotech crops.
