Mr. Niall Ryan:

We do not have figures to say that but, as Mr. Medlycott said, the European Union has the joint research centre, and there are a number of initiatives going on in Europe around soils. There is the Horizon programme and there is this European EGP on soils in which Ireland and 26 other member states are partaking. It is carrying out a number of research experiments around soil and soil health and all that information is being fed back into the EU Commission.
