I will clarify what I was saying. In the programme for Government, there is a commitment to liaise with Europe about this, and the Minister did that. The MEPs voted on something last Christmas and made it very clear that funding is now accessible for the category of farmers to whom I refer. I am surprised to hear Mr. Savage saying there remains a problem with the regulation that appears to keep them out of this. The information we have received, both from here and the Directorate General in Europe, suggests otherwise.
