Mr. Francie Gorman:

To respond to the Senator, the ambition with a fully independent review panel is that it will improve the situation and give farmers greater confidence in the process that there is independence. There will be an independent chair and they will have to be more proactive about communication. It will broaden the scope such that if farmers felt they were unfairly treated in the appeals process previously, they will get a fair hearing. The issue of force majeure, which is not there, is very important and needs to come in. If we get to the point where those main building blocks have been put in place, we will end up with an appeals mechanism that is better than what we have. It is something that has to happen. There has been a huge deficit in the appeals process up to now and we hope those main points will be taken on board.

I do not know whether Mr. Curran wishes to come in.
