Ireland has become the first EU state to completely break the tie between farm production and EU payments, which brings to an end 30 years of subsidy driven farming. It is imperative that hearsay and rumour do not play a part in the transition and that every possible means at the Minister's disposal are used to keep farmers fully informed of their rights and entitlements over the next two years so that an easy transition can be made. I hope that booklets are available in the near future. Senator Bradford referred to the one which was published in September. Farmers must be kept fully informed of any decisions made about full decoupling. I welcome the support available to young farmers and I hope there will be less bureaucracy in the administration of the scheme for young farmers than was previously the case.
