Mr. Francis Morrin:
Okay. On that point, whatever argument there might be between the farmer, who is the person leasing out, and the auctioneer is a civil matter between the two of them. That is fine. However, in terms of the regulations on what happens to the entitlements, as I have outlined already that is exactly what will happen. They will revert. It is not that they are penalised. It is that the entitlements are removed to the national reserve.
