Mr. Bernard Condon:
If one looks at China, although some of the reduction in Chinese demand has come from the demand side, an awful lot of what they were importing is now being produced domestically. That is another dynamic. The marginal cost of producing milk in China is somewhere around 45 to 50 cent per litre so the gaps can be huge.
