I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 and 66 together.
The position as regards the evaluation carried out on the compensatory allowances scheme is that the consultant has addressed a number of areas where he recommends that changes should be made and he has highlighted a broad range of measures from which a selection will have to be made if the areas targeted by him are to be tackled. The areas the consultant was asked to examine are as follows: the balance between investment and income support measures under the Operational Programme for Agriculture, Rural Development and Forestry; the extent to which the scheme contributes towards its main objective of maintaining the population in disadvantaged rural areas; the question of better targeting the low income farmer; simplification of the scheme; the extent to which the scheme is contributing to the overgrazing problem in certain sensitive areas; the question of fundamentally improving the collection of data so that it can be more easily analysed and evaluated.
