As I indicated in my reply, I have a great deal of sympathy for farmers and the position of the industry in relation to these schemes but they are new schemes, the total applications amounting to approximately 650,000, in respect of which there have been teething problems and difficulties in their implementation. We are endeavouring to streamline and simplify them, ensuring that the supply of cattle to the industry is not disrupted. In these circumstances, farmers could help substantially because, as the Deputy knows, there is a retention period applicable to most of the schemes, in some cases a two months' retention period, nevertheless farmers are slow to return completed application forms. In the case of most schemes we are under pressure to extend the deadline, which we do to be helpful, but it would be very helpful if farmers, in their own interests and those of the industry, returned completed application forms quickly, when the retention period could be brought forward considerably. However, for some reason or another, many completed application forms are not submitted until the last minute, creating a logjam, for the industry itself and in respect of payments.
