I am asking about what will happen if the Cioloş proposal is accepted and it is decided that 2014 is the reference year. If all the farmers in commonage areas decide to stock up and put some sheep in the commonage, they will make themselves eligible for flat-rate payments. In such circumstances, they will get their share of the money, which will mean there is less money for all the people who do not have commonage.
