With respect, the question that was asked was about where the policy to stop plantation on unenclosed land was formulated, where it came from or where the direction came from. There was an indication that it was EU policy and there was a clear assertion that this was not the case. We would like to see written confirmation of how exactly this policy that unenclosed land cannot be planted was formulated.

It has completely devalued the land of people who own unenclosed land. I would say it has devalued those people's property by up to 80%. That was the question that was asked. It is an important and serious question and we would like to have a detailed written answer to it as quickly as possible.
