Ms Sharon Murphy:

As I said, discussion is ongoing. The Commission has to look at the implications of all of these considerations, but I would not anticipate another proposal in the immediate future. It is unusual to amend a basic regulation for the CAP. Regulations usually remain in place and unchanged for the seven-year period. It is unusual for the Commission to have done that. Of course, the upcoming Parliament elections will mean a new Commission and all of that. We will be moving into a new work plan and programme in Brussels, and it is unlikely there will be further movement. As I said, the implementing and delegating Acts that come out of the basic regulation are yet to be discussed. At expert group level, there may be further discussions but I do not anticipate any at the moment.
