What is the position with regard to the current negotiations on the CAP, particularly in the context of maintaining the level of funding in question? I also wish to ask a minor question on the European globalisation fund, particularly as there appears to have been a significant reduction between what was originally put forward and the revised proposal. However, perhaps our guests will deal with the CAP first. The latter comprises 85% of the budget and is hugely significant for Ireland.
