Mr. Tom Medlycott:

It does not necessarily have to meet the criteria in respect of being peatland as it was 50 years ago. It has to meet the good soil health condition in its current status and may well continue to meet that status in the new farming system layout. There are opportunities for the member state to determine what soil management practices should be in place for different types of soils. That determination is made at member state level. For soils that have been drained, it does not necessarily mean we have to restore them all to their previous condition.
