Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Maybe the Chairman picked up something I intended to say but did not. He makes a very good point, because the reality is there is a very crowded agenda for the next few years. We have European Parliament elections in 2019, a Commission whose term expires in October 2019, a multi-annual financial framework the first document of which will only be published in mid-2018, and Brexit. If I was asked whether it will be possible to negotiate a significantly reformed CAP in the middle of all of that by 2020, I would say it would be a very significant challenge. That is my own view, and I have a feeling that the Commissioner might have hinted slightly, more than once in public, that it is a very crowded agenda.
