Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:

The Deputy is misunderstanding me. I am saying that 80% should not be on agricultural land. It should be decided at a member state level so that we identify the best areas - not the farmland - but we identify and make the decision as to what land is restored. The responsibility will fall on farmers if it is under Article 9, which is not fair because 80% has to be restored. If we look at a wider landscape under Article 4, then the member state can choose to reduce the percentage of farmland that would fall under the requirement to be restored or rewetted.
