My next question is whether it will be possible for farmers to deliver milk to milk companies and to retain ownership of the milk until after the due date.

In that way, they will not have provided the milk to the companies within the due time and paid for the storage of the milk. This is on a one-off basis and it comes to an end. Therefore, if one can put the milk sale into next year, my understanding is that it does not count for the superlevy. What has been done domestically, now that the Government has failed in Europe, to work with farming organisations and look at all possibilities so that the sales of milk decrease between now and the first of April? This could be done by retention of ownership of the milk, even if it is in somebody else's storage. Has the Minister looked at that possibility?
