Mr. Joe Hamill:
The European Union is satisfied at this point that we are working hard to try to get this into the right space.
Cutting is still being carried out in areas where the Commission does not want to see it, but there has been an improvement. Approximately 1,300 plots were cut illegally, as we see it, in 2011, but the figure decreased to approximately 300 plots in 2014. We are working with the Commission.
