I meet the producer organisations regularly. I met them most recently about a fortnight ago to discuss this matter.

EMFF funding amounts to approximately €241 million. It has been made clear to us that this funding, although not suspended at this stage, is conditional. The control and data collection side are in the crosshairs of the Commission in the first instance. I am concerned that failure to act could put the entire fund at risk. I do not intend to run that risk.

What was the Deputy's other question?
