I thank Mr. Cardiff and his delegation for coming here today. We have had a wide-ranging discussion on the whole CAP. One can see how important it is going into the future and important points have been made regarding generational change. I think Mr. Wojciechowski's idea about a longer-term view for agriculture and the CAP going forward should be considered, rather than the seven-year process. I thank Mr. Cardiff for his invitation. Hopefully we can take him up on it at some stage. I wish him success in the future. I wish Mr. Tony Murphy every success in his position for the coming period.
