	Stephen Ridge Technical Solutions Director ASDA Group Plc. United Kingdom	At Somerfield, I am responsible for all our own label lines. In the UK I can source product to farm assurance standards. As I look at products sourced from outside the UK, I want to deliver similar standards of farm assurance. Currently my team have to assess schemes for different products in each different country - this is not cost effective. This is especially the case with ingredients used in own label. I am an confident I will be able to deliver complete supply chain farm assurance through EurepGAP.
