Mr. Brian Rushe:

The number of farmers on €700 per ha would be tiny. Farmers who were part-time farming, on a high payment per hectare are being moved into the vulnerable zone. The current suite of measures put forward with the agri-environment schemes is not enough to take them back up out of there. That was something we pushed for, so farmers who were hit with convergence had a way to get their payment back up. We are not seeing that.
