What was the reduction in EU funding this year compared with last year? How much of that shortfall is the Department making up? Will there be additional farmer contributions next year? Is there any discussion at forum level or within the Department to see if the meat industry, for example, would be asked to contribute toward the TB eradication programme, considering that if it is successful, it will be the chief beneficiary?
