Mr. Michael Dowling:

It was agreed as part of the December 2019 agreement. Whether it could be called a concession or not, it arose out of the discussions as part of the agreement. As for whether it can be reduced from 60 days, I do not know. That is a matter for agreement within the industry. The length of time is not the most significant in-spec bonus issue, given that the vast bulk of animals qualify for that under the four-movement rule. There does not appear to be good reason to change it. Nevertheless, it is a requirement, and I suppose under some degree of negotiation in the future, one could see it being adjusted further. Residency is an issue for quality assurance, QA, status, however, and that remains the position.
