I have a couple of follow-up points. Regarding the objective under the Commission's proposal to redistribute some funding towards small and medium-sized farmers, will Mr. Gleeson flesh out the options and requirements? I am interested in hearing his perspective on the two ways in which funding under pillar 1 can be distributed - entitlement and average payment per hectare. What are the pros and cons of both?

Are changes proposed to area of natural constraints, ANC, scheme payments? How will the ongoing review at European level feed into this process and what percentage of Irish farmers in receipt of ANC payments are expected to remain on same as a result of the review?
