That is where Government support is required. We have been calling for a plan B for the agricultural sector for a long time. I believe the chances of the derogation going through again are very low. Mr. Callanan is spelling out the significant financial and economic impacts. That is where the Government needs to come in to provide that support, and not force them out into tillage and into other land. That is where the Government needs to support the agricultural sector and that is what is missing in the discussions.
