Direct Payments Decoupling: Statements.

 

I thank the Senators for their positive and unbiased contributions to the debate. I will take the various points made into account and if anybody wants a copy of the Department's information booklet, we will make it available. We will have to await the final detailed text, which will not be available for the next eight or nine weeks, before we can definitively publish an information booklet, but in terms of making the information available up to date, we can do that. The idea of making the decision now and making the information available was to let farmers and the industry know in good time the outlook for the future, thereby allowing them to make their decisions and get away from the confusion or lack of information available to them.
