I thank the Minister for his attendance. My question is on the Presidency during the next six months and the conference the Minister attended last weekend in Doha. In terms of emissions, the Minister has mentioned that he achieved some success with the Polish delegates. However, the major players are the United States, China, Russia and so on. How can we succeed in that regard? Progress is being made in Europe and other areas, but the countries causing the most problems are the United States, China and Russia. It does not appear that real progress is being achieved in bringing them into line with other countries.
