I will be brief as I understand the Acting Chairman is operating under time constraints.

On the redistributive or top-up payment, is there an upper limit on the amount of money that can be allocated towards this payment? In other words, what percentage of the total pool can be allocated to a top-up payment on the first 30 ha. or 32 ha. as in Ireland's case? While there is not a major difference between 30 ha. and 32 ha., I would prefer if the second figure were used as it corresponds to 80 acres. It would be significant if a limit were to apply to the top-up that may be provided. Is such a limit provided for and, if so, what is it?

I understand there has been some movement on the coupled payment or payment per head. Has an upper limit been placed on this payment? If so, how would it translate into payments per ewe or suckler cow?
