I will get back to Mr. McCormack on that bit. In fairness, if a person is importing fertiliser from somewhere else, they would have complied with their system of doing it. It is just that farmers need to know that there may be a difference. I am not saying and would never say that someone is mislabelling something, but just that farmers need to be aware. On nitrogen, you could be 100% perfect and sound. However, on the P and K, it is the system that is used and it is fully above board in the countries that it is being used in. It is just that people need to be aware of it.
