I understand the IFFPG needs to have a reserve. That is only proper. Mr. Moloney also said that with some of those profits, the group reduced the levy and I understand that. However, farmers did not get a rebate, even though they were promised one. Can Mr. Moloney answer that for me? If a deal is made and farmers are supposed to get a rebate but do not get one, it does not look credible. Farmers have not been saying that to me but, to be honest, it is not very credible if farmers who go by the rules and gather up the plastic that is then taken away do not get the rebate they are supposed to get. What is the explanation for that?
