Ms Sharon Murphy:

I do not have the precise figures, but the Chair is correct. A number of member states have a large number of very small farmers. In Ireland, it is approximately 15% or 16%. It could be as high as 65%. I know it is 56% in Spain. It is a larger percentage area. The simplification there is from the point of view of the administration of those really small farms of 1 ha or 2 ha. They are very small indeed in places like Romania and Poland.
