Ms Maria Dunne:

On the first question, it is primarily about encouraging producer organisations. The real advantage is collective bargaining in terms of price and imports. What we have done and have been asked to do is to make it easier for them to set up and give them more financial support. There is financial support under the current CAP strategic plan for the first three years of a producer organisation, as well as some administrative support. As it stands, the CMO regulation provides for compulsory written contracts for each delivery of agricultural products, with certain exemptions. A range of derogations can be availed of by member states or a member state can put in place in its own system. That is what the CMO is aimed at.
