As no other member is indicating, I thank Mr. Santini and representatives of the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission for attending today's meeting and making their presentation to the committee. I thank Mr. Santini for his comprehensive answers. We might not have liked what we heard but he gave very comprehensive answers. As we said at the outset, this is a huge issue for us and will have a severe impact on our farmers. We thank him very much for coming today.

The next public meeting will take place on Wednesday, 26 January at 5.30 p.m. and the witnesses appearing before the joint committee will represent the Association of Farm & Forestry Contractors in Ireland to present on the nitrates action programme and to discuss the targeted agricultural modernisation scheme, TAMS.
