Ms Sharon Murphy:

When the Commission is putting forward the size of farms, there is an issue, as I said to Deputy Mythen, about looking at the environmental impact. It has to consider how much of the land area is being take out of conditionality inspections and the possible implications of that. That is why the Commission hit on that figure. It is about the balance of the objectives to simplify as much as possible while also ensuring the maintenance of environmental ambition.
