 The commission has proposed a new instrument in pillar one of the direct payments which would provide support to new entrants. Now this would be in addition to the existing arrangements in the pillar two of the cap where member states already have the possibility to provide support to new entrants and that support would continue. But the real debate is whether the new instrument in pillar one should be mandatory for member states and there was something that they would have to offer to new entrants or something that would be voluntary. In other words if they wanted, if they saw merit in this proposal they could use it but if they felt that they had other mechanisms that they thought were more effective then they would not be obliged to use it. So that is where the debate is currently between the parliament and the council in the trial log process.
