A number of years ago the EU decided to publish all the single farm payments to every farmer across Europe. Every paper contained lists of personal payments. This was challenged and was found to be wrong and was subsequently removed. However, that information was still out there. The Appeal Commissioners deal with very sensitive issues and there is a slim margin between a business surviving and not surviving. I refer to my earlier point that I would welcome Mr. O'Callaghan's views on the list of conditions as to what can be made public.
