We must ascertain how this will pan out.

We have about €53 million to spend and must make decisions. I suspect one of the first things we would do is to start with the guys with more than 60 animals. They would receive €80 per animal for as many as we could pay them. That is not unreasonable. We will prioritise the small farmer, as we do in the case of the €10 payment.
