Mr. Cormac Healy:

I am certainly not supportive of a carbon tax and I definitely would not support one that would be focused on agriculture. The reason is that the sector has demonstrated that it is taking action in many areas. The Chairman stated we would return to this issue. Beef and agriculture are being bargained away by the European Commission to close a deal with South America. It seems we will be happy to import more product from South America to close a trade deal while, on the other hand, we want farmers and industries here to contract in order to meet climate change requirements. That is a contradiction.
