Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

We are not quite there yet. It will be scientifically determined so it would be very hard. There still would be a possibility. We have not planned this out precisely. I imagine that there will be a consultation process, which is, in effect, a bit like an appeal process in this context. If, for example, an area is deemed not to qualify on the basis stoniness but the farmer can produce evidence that it is stony, that is where that would come in.
