My understanding, and Mr. Delany can correct me if I am wrong, is that this is not a similar process. It will not be an over-and-back process. It will be up to us to identify a mechanism that we have not identified up to now with the potential to support farmers with finances in this situation. We would then go to the European Union and tell its representatives that we have found a mechanism and explain what we want to do. Is that fair enough, Mr. Delany? It is. It will not be the same sort of protracted process. If we find a mechanism, we will go with it and tell the EU that is what we want to do.
