The kernel of where Mr. Fitzgerald is coming on this issue is that when farmers entered the scheme in 2007, he said most farmers were happy with the designation because of the strength of the comprehensive and robust assurances that were offered. Obviously, he believes he entered that scheme in good faith and what has happened subsequently, which is outside his control, is something completely different. He is being forced to agree to a completely different agreement. Is that correct?
