I have a couple of questions. We sometimes feel here that we are overburdened with compliance requirements, rules and regulations. Has Mr. Nugent had any feedback on how this directive is going down in other member states?

My second question concerns the alignment that appears to be required between the EIA development consents and the integrated pollution prevent control consents. How does Mr. Nugent see that working out? It seems to me that it will be very challenging. This will be discussed during our EU Presidency, so can Mr. Nugent see any difficulties for us in that respect?
