I refer to the proposals going forward. I will not lie; some of them are controversial. The covering of storage is an issue that is often raised in my constituency office. It can be compared to a scenario of an open tank with slats, which is considered okay under the regulations. An open tank that is not covered with slats must be covered. If farmers are compliant under the current regulations, is there much economic or practical benefit in making them more compliant by ensuring they sheet or cover that tank?
