Following a recent recognition review undertaken by the RPA, a number of Producer Organisations (POs) received letters from the agency regarding their status.
We are aware that some POs are already seeking independent legal advice on their position and are taking up the RPA’s offer of a meeting to discuss the issues raised in the letters.
Other POs that have not taken any legal advice are urged to do so as soon as possible to ensure they do not miss any deadline.
The NFU is also liaising with Defra/RPA to identify the common themes and has also been requesting clarification on some burning issues to assist our members during these difficult times.
All POs that have not yet instructed a solicitor are advised to contact NFU CallFirst where they can be put in touch with one of our panel firms, who have the relevant expertise in dealing with issues affecting POs and are currently advising some POs that are affected by the review.
The CallFirst number is 0870 845 8458
