Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
It is distinct from this and has to do with the traceability and system of approval for slaughter plants. There may well be issues that need to be resolved between the three Departments concerning cohering our efforts on animal welfare because it is not easy to explain. It is difficult. I do not want that to be confused with the very specific piece of work we need to do on these equines, which is not about welfare because welfare concerns are obvious. It is about the traceability of equines, which has an EU dimension to it, and our own processes for the approval of plants.
