I have few questions, as I missed the presentation. I thank the witnesses for attending. I note that the Department has concerns with the new flexibility that will be built into the CAP, in that it will have more work to do on managing the situation. Will the issue be with resources to be able to do that? What were traditionally called "greening measures" were part of Pillar 1, which will now be an environmental code. I understand that will be worked out here, rather than in Brussels. Does the Department have any idea what type of environmental measures will be implemented? Will it be similar to what we have had in the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, GLAS, the agri-environment options scheme, AEOS, or will it be something entirely different?
