Those in the nitrates derogation have to produce documentation every year to show what was spread, what was in the closing entry each year and for the following year. On that point, can the Minister of State explain where this legislation is going to fall in terms of the need for that to happen and the work that is required? It will be a major change for farmers and particularly for the cohort who are tied up in actual derogation itself. Will the Minister of State clarify that point if possible?
