Everybody had the opportunity. The issue is that someone may have been in AEOS for three years when the opportunity to jump arose. Those who wanted to stay in AEOS no longer have that opportunity. We had a budget of between €15 million and €20 million when AEOS was in place. If someone jumped from AEOS to GLAS, the funding was to be taken from GLAS and the farmer had two years left of the other funding. Where did that funding go?
