We all know we are in a different place. In particular, there is the fact that the Russians are willing to threaten and use energy and food security. It is what Mr. Scannell said as well, that it is making preparations so that there is a greater level of resilience. That also relates to Europe. Are we talking about a possible different conversation around food security in particular, and possibly the CAP and the direction it has gone it the last while, while accepting there are obviously necessary moves that need to be made in relation to climate change for all of us?

On the supply, as Mr. Scannell said, it seems to be a good harvest across an awful lot of northern Europe. Some of that is obviously weather related. I think anecdotally there is talk that to a degree we were facilitated. Even with the reduced amounts of fertiliser here, the good weather allowed people to get away with that. What are the plans to deal with that into the future?
