I do. First of all, we know that structural funds are guaranteed to 2020. Farming subsidies are guaranteed to 2020, but nothing beyond. At the moment, farmers face the scenario where they’ll have nothing at all in terms of support beyond that time. I have an easy answer, and that’s quite simply for the pot of money to be made available, as it is now, and for it to be distributed as it is now to provide the certainty that structural funds have provided so far, and particularly certainty for our farmers. That’s a good way of ensuring that farmers don’t have to suffer as a result of Brexit.
