Mr. Francis Morrin:

For existing applicants, if we take a young farmer who first joined the scheme in 2021, he or she would have got €68 per entitlement, the same in 2022 and in 2023 if they apply for next year, they will receive the higher rate per hectare declared. In Commission-speak, they say, the old people get paid the new money. They can continue on for the rest of their five years in the new scheme.
