Is the Minister of State telling me that if farmers can prove that they have had to adjust their farming system since he imposed designations, he is guaranteeing compensation, as provided under the law? Lots of farmers - 70% of them - will never join GLAS. In fact, I think GLAS represents only 25% of farmers. I think the Minister's target is 50,000. Can we get an absolute assurance today?
