I have an extra minute for interruptions.

Is the greening optional on an individual basis or on a national basis? Obviously, it is very much in the interests of the large farmers with the very high payments. Will the Minister also confirm the situation with stacking? Will people who are able to stack payments, in other words they did not have the land the last time, be able to re-stack the same payments or does stacking finish with this CAP under yesterday's proposals? In each of these cases, I refer to what the Council has agreed. I realise the Parliament and the Commission can trump the Council on any of these issues.
