I welcome the Minister and thank him for what is a very strong document on the environment and the issue of climate change. My first question was going to be on the climate change Bill, but he has stated it will be up for discussion on Tuesday. I was delighted to hear him state climate change was not an academic concept or a scientific process but an urgent reality for billions of people. I thank him for stating this, as it indicates the issue is a top priority, as it should be.

I have a question on the recast of the environmental impact assessment. This issue will be discussed at the next meeting of the Council of Ministers. Is it possible to put it on the agenda for discussion at another meeting of the committee?
