Returning to the SCC issue, the timescale of 2020 is quite conservative. How do Ireland's figures compare with our European comrades in that regard? Are we above or below average or just average, or where do we fit in?

As regards the processors, do the witnesses have a timescale set for themselves whereby the processors may be able to feed them the information on what the different producers have, because they would have their own database of figures, or will the witnesses stick with the milk recording practice?
