Mr. Michael Moloney:

Going back to my earlier comments, the crop is not treated in the same way as a tillage crop because of the presence of THC. The regulatory arrangements cross over into drugs regulation. As identified earlier, the bars can be set by member states at different levels; there is no uniformity, but there is uniformity on the varieties that can be grown for the basic payment scheme. In France, the 18,000 ha have crops with a THC content of 0.2%, but each member state could and does have a different level for THC content for the products.
