Mr. Carroll said we account for 1.4% or 1.5% of European pig meat production. It will probably come down to supply and demand. I remember Mr. Healy being in here before when cattle prices were depressed and cattle aged over 30 months could not be taken or there had to be three movements or whatever. We see a totally different sector now and nearly anything that stands will be taken. Does the worldwide pig sector need to balance itself out or are there big extra numbers throughout Europe? Mr. Carroll talked about Denmark and other places. Is that a factor?
