Mr. Paud Evans:

We were able, subject to the Commission agreeing to this, to apply the principle of cross-compensation in the calculations for the previous years. Cross-compensation means that if one has a parcel of land and the reference area, that is the total eligible area in the parcel is ten hectares and the farmer is being prudent and is claiming 9.8 hectares, we have looked at the parcel as part of the entire review, we have not identified it as having something ineligible in the parcel. The farmer gets credit for that for the purposes of recalculation. If he had an over-claim of 0.2 hectares, but we establish that he is not claiming 0.3 hectares within his reference area, there is no retrospection.
