Mr. Kevin Cardiff:

The audit certainly did not get into that kind of detail so we would not comment on it. The basic finding is that although we have had decades of young farmer support, it does not seem to have made much difference to the basic statistics. The implication is that if we want to support young farmers with a transfer of funds, which Europe does, we must transfer them in a way that would incentivise a transfer between generations. There were examples from Mr. Wojciechowski. A money transfer will not make a difference to behaviour and for a future Common Agricultural Policy, we must think about how expenditure would change people's behaviour. That is the core of the report's recommendation.
