Is the Department sticking to the figure of €50 per square metre? Who has decided on that? When the fur farmers were before the committee there was a difference of opinion between the Department and the farmers on how the compensation scheme would be designed. The farmers were saying we needed to factor in the dip in the market the stakeholders were claiming they had experienced in 2015 and 2020. Is there an update on that?
