Mr. David Tilson, MP:

For environmental purposes, we are simply saying we would put our oil up against anyone's. That is why we were almost shocked at the decision that was taken. However, we are hopeful that the issue will be studied and that those countries will reconsider their position. The statistics were 89 in favour, 128 against and 128 abstentions. It does not seem as though everybody was agreeing with the proposal.
