I have no issue with that in principle. The committee should know what I am sending to Europe. An environmental assessment is under way and we will engage in consultation at the end of this process, which will be Monday. We must try to take account of people's submissions and finalise the document by the end of the month. We also have a timescale for the Pillar 1 submissions on, for example, how we will manage direct payments for farmers. The date in that regard is August. We have a great deal of work to do in the coming months.
