Mr. Michael Dowling:

Not really. Our position and our information is, to take the under 30-month rule, that for most markets to which we supply any significant amount of beef, that rule is required. If that is the case, then if one wants to supply those markets, then one has to meet that rule. There is no argument about that. Over 30-month cattle can find a market. The issue is whether or not they can find a market with a remunerative price. The advice given to farmers in the UK from their own organisation is that the target for the product being supplied either to retailers or food service manufacturers should be under 30 months if they expect to get the maximum price. That is the position as we understand it, from all the information we get from the market and the Grant Thornton report too.
