We are putting safeguards in place. In every process there are always ways in which people might try and get around it and that is the reason we will have an inspection regime and controls and measures in place to act as a deterrent. What is also really important about this process is that it is easy to use. We do not need to add layers of complexity and red tape for farmers. We have to recognise also that this tool will be a big addition to farmers. I say this as a farmer myself.
