I suppose I have a better grasp than I had at the start. I thank Ms Jany-Roskova. She is saying that if people take on extra sustainability measures, they will be allowed to make an agreement with a processor to get an extra return to cover their costs. That is what she is saying about primary producers. Previously they would have been debarred by competition law from doing that, but now they are getting an exemption.
