Mr. Bill Callanan:

Nitrogen is not long in the system, certainly in the sense of seeing some impact, but let us be clear that one of the criteria that related to many areas of the country was such that the nitrate level went up. Even if it held its own, however one might understand that, the nitrate level went up in the areas in question. We know through bitter experience in 2018 that when there is a drought, there is a significant concentration and a loss of nitrogen into the system as a result. That was an argument made to the Commission but the Commission is clear that if there are episodes that have an impact in terms of nitrogen loss, aligning actions are needed. It needs to be addressed, be it through allowances for nitrogen or otherwise, the view being that this should be part of your adaptation in terms of climate change and that you should be conscious of that.

Does Mr. Massey want to talk a little about the position on the maps?
