As I have said, my objective was to preserve the benefits of the Agenda 2000 agreement for Ireland and I firmly believe that I have been successful in this. Full decoupling of payments also has huge potential benefits in terms of reducing substantially the administrative and bureaucratic burden for farmers and my Department alike, while allowing farmers the freedom to farm and to respond to market demands. I assume Members' clinics will be quiet in the future, as no one will be seeking headage premia or other allowances. Under the single farm payment there will be one application and one payment. This will allow Members to leave their clinics early on Saturday mornings in future.
