I have a very quick question. I see that €202 million has been allocated in respect of areas of natural constraint, ANC, payments. That is expected to increase by €25 million for next year. As it is relevant to the actual scheme, can the Minister provide an update on the mapping? I know that the structure for payment is going to be changed for 2018. What is the position regarding mapping? When publishing the scientific data relating to those maps, will the Minister ensure that there is consultation in advance on proposals for areas of specific constraint?
