Mr. Barry Caslin:

I cannot say what the profitability in France is. In France, Germany, Lithuania and other countries around Europe, the hemp industry is combined with other industries. In the Normandy area of France, for example, the hemp industry has been combined with the flax industry. There is processing capacity there. Where the industries can be combined, the same type of equipment can be used for decortication. That is what is making it work in the countries in question. About four companies in Ireland are importing the fibre from hemp. There is one in Monaghan and another in Kerry. The companies are using the product for insulation material.
