We are talking about a 40-year legislation programme and science will change in that time. At this early stage, if the European target ends up at 80% to 95%, it is not the case that every member state will have a total target for the European Union. Will each individual state have a target of 80%? Others may carry a higher burden because they have a lower dependency on agriculture, which generates higher greenhouse gases. What is the thinking of the witnesses on that? Is it a European Union figure rather than an individual state figure?
