It is no problem at all. I have one question. It relates to the nitrates derogation. I saw the announcement regarding feedback from the European Commission and the requirement to consider impacts on habitats directive goals. Given the changes we have seen from the European Commission side of the table, how likely is it that we will be able to retain the nitrates derogation in its current form?
