Mr. Brian Rushe:

I do not think so. We can look at the milk situation. At the moment, a conventional dairy farmer is getting more per litre of milk than an organic farmer because customers are just not willing to pay the premium. One worry I would have about organics is that farmers need to make their own minds up and make sure the market is there for the product they are selling. That is the key. If they go into it just for the payment or the subvention, over time that will erode. They need to make sure there is going to be a market there. There is a big role for Bord Bia in that in terms of creating the market. It is a production system that works well but we are a small island and a small population. We have a population that most European cities have, so our market is quite small.
