The Minister tells us that the review is almost completed but can he inform us whether there is included in that review any new measures or are only the existing measures included? Will the Minister make every effort to ensure that in particular the calf and beef schemes of the package are implemented?

I cannot prejudge the outcome of the deliberations in Brussels. I can only tell the Deputy that I have taken great care to consider the weak points of the scheme and we hope that many of the matters to which the Deputy has referred will be put right in the new package.
