Besides full decoupling, last week's agreement provides for other options in relation to cereals, beef and sheep meat which allow for various forms of partial decoupling. Some of the options include up to 100% coupling of the suckler cow premium, up to 100% coupling of the slaughter premium and up to 75% coupling of the special beef premium. The sheep premium and the supplementary ewe premium may now be either fully or 50% decoupled.
