We spoke about it particularly in the agricultural sector. It is important for us to have as many trained farmers as possible. It would be a climate-positive initiative to encourage trained farmers to participate in the sector. It does not necessarily require an age categorisation. The Minister could justifiably look for an alteration in the state aid rules to remove the 35-year age limit for a trained farmer and just have it as a trained farmer without an age limit.
