Mr. Bill Callanan:

Our objective is to secure a derogation. There are various plans B that apply at an individual farm level. For instance, we have approximately 7,000 farmers in derogation who are at more than 170 kg. We have 5,000 or 6,000 farmers who are either exporting slurry, moving young stock or taking temporary grazing or more land to ensure compliance. Those tend to be the actions farmers take in their individual circumstances in the absence of a derogation.
