Activities excluded from the licensing arrangements

It has been decided that several mainstream agricultural activities should be excluded from the licensing requirements.  It has also been agreed that the supply of workers to undertake the processing and packaging in catering, wholesale and retail outlets should be excluded.

With regard to food and drink processing, however, there will be no exclusions for labour providers operating in this sector.

An indicative list of excluded activities is given below.
