Direct Payments Decoupling: Statements.
I would like to discuss the effects of decoupling on output. By how much will production fall? It is important that we acquire information about that point. What will be the knock-on effects on agri-industry and agri-services? Do we have a response to that? Do we have a clear path in relation to those two issues? I know some of the proposals are rather unclear at this stage, but some clarification would be helpful. I would like to know the environmental effects of more extensive production.
