First off, on amendments, of course, the committee will underscore the value of each amendment as it comes forward and make the decision on that. It won't be me.
Having said that, we put forward these comprehensive.... I don't call them omnibus; I call them comprehensive because they are all interrelated and actually build a stronger agricultural system.
When it comes down to the price farmers will pay, it's always amazing to me that the newest and best varieties of seed are the ones that sell out first every year. Farmers out there are very knowledgeable in what they require.
The best news, I guess, is that a lot of the new varieties take less input cost. They are bred to take less fertilizer, fewer pesticides, and fewer chemicals, which is in and of itself a cost-saving measure for the farmer. Certainly the IP costs may go up on that seed, but then you're going to save in the long run by not having to put on the volumes of fertilizer, chemicals, and pesticides that may have been required for the old variety. So farmers will make that decision.
The changes we're providing here under UPOV 91 take into consideration only new varieties going forward. There is no retroactivity, so farmers still have access to all of the varieties that are out there as of today and can scope their business plan around that.
