Let me return to the quota regime. Given that there is a depressed market, will producers be allowed to switch the co-operative or dairy they supply without having to give statutory notice when quotas end on 1 January? It seems people are able to play with that. People would have a stronger negotiating position if they had fewer than three months of notice to give. For quota purposes, it always had to be three months or one quarter year in advance.

I have a question about producer organisations. Thankfully, the new Commissioner has welcomed the initiative. It has been announced that we have a consultation. Is there agreement at the Council that this will be applied across Europe? It is referenced in the CAP.
