Okay. My next question concerns where would be the best place to look for international experience. Northern Ireland is obviously one not to adopt. If we were, then, to look at a location that has worked and that has the same dynamics we have here regarding wildlife, because wildlife is our unusual factor compared with other countries that have TB issues, where would we look to as an international location that has managed to decrease the figures for the incidence of TB? Where is the best possible place and why is it the case? I ask that our wildlife issue be taken into consideration because we are far from a lab setting. This is not just dealing with how TB is transferred from one cow to another. It is the other added complications that make this so awkward.
