I would like to continue to discuss the particular issues raised with regard to France. Is the main part of this related to France protecting its industry? A certain part of it is because it wants to force movement to rail from an environmental point of view. Obviously, this will not suit with regard to a significant amount of what we are speaking about. Are these the main reasons? Mr. Drennan said he has written to the President of the Regional Council of Normandy. Does the regional body have the power to deal with these particular issues? What engagement has Mr. Drennan had with the Irish Government or anywhere else with regard to moving this on? I can imagine this is somewhat difficult.
