Mr. Dermot Ryan:

I will deal with the first question and Ms McPhillips, who is our trade expert, will deal with the second. The Irish Grain and Feed Association has outlined its concerns to the effect that if some regions, countries or parts of countries in the EU favour this proposal and take the option of deciding to ban GM feed, for example, this will lead to a disruption in trade, especially in the context of arranging shipments. In that context, parts of shipments are unloaded in ports in different countries and if one country or a part thereof decided not to accept GM feed, this could result in smaller shipments coming across the Atlantic to, for example, Ireland, which would result in an increase in the cost of feedstuffs.
