Mr. Martin Blake:

One of the reasons for announcing it upfront and early was to signal to the market, farmers, meat plants and marts that it was coming and that there would be an interim period during which they could plan for it. It was always recognised that there might be a need for a transitional arrangement for those who had bought tags. We need to decide how to deal with that issue. As I said at the end of my opening statement, a number of issues have been forwarded to us. We are considering them and will advise the Minister very shortly on what we think we should do. If somebody invested in 100 tags on 1 October and has 80 left, what is he or she to do? It is a valid question.
