Even when an unprecedented increase of 50% in national co-funding for Pillar 2 is being delivered, choices still have to be made in respect of where that is allocated. We have significant increases in ACRES as well as other environmental schemes, beef, organics and so on but, as part of that, we are maintaining ANC. Overall, all of that funding is making its way to farmers. That 50% increase in national co-funding will end up in farmers' pockets.
