I had one further question to ask. In a follow-on to my initial question, the Minister might outline the mechanism in respect of European money, match funding and how that is calculated between the current and capital sides. Second, on the suckler cow welfare scheme, I understand the Minister's point that for that scheme to operate next year, it would be necessary to introduce a new scheme. The Minister should provide members with the anticipated cost of such a measure, as they would then know how much it would be necessary to find from another area were that option to be taken. Obviously, it would then be necessary to make choices, as were one to operate such a scheme, it would be necessary to cut something else.
