Mr. Bill Callanan:

I will make an absolute commitment here that we will produce a paper on the figures. The only issue in terms of the banding, though, is what is recognised internationally. The Senator asked whether there was a figure for slurry. Looking at the actual emission factors used under nitrates rules in other member states, you see the figures are substantially higher in the countries where there is a higher output per cow. I believe the Dutch figure is 125 kg or something - do not quote this as an exact figure – but I suppose our numbers are proportionate to our yield based on international benchmarking of yield and numbers.
