In regard to Food Horizon 2020, I understand the initially indicated allocation of €80 billion has been reduced to €70 billion. Ireland has done quite well out of that programme. At one of the meetings of the committee which took place at Dublin Castle during the Presidency, we had a detailed discussion on Horizon 2020 and how beneficial it has been for Ireland. Enterprise Ireland has been particularly effective in its role in this regard. Is there an implication in the reduction to €70 billion that Ireland stands to lose out on funding under the initiative?
