We were utilising the remainder of the European Union recovery instrument, EURI, funding which is a specific stream of funding and it was 100% refundable. As the organic scheme is a continuation from the previous rural development programme, rather than being a new CAP scheme, it was one of the few schemes which was actually eligible for drawing down EURI funding. We redirected that in order to draw down the EURI funding to make sure we would fully utilise that allocation from Europe.
