No. The emphasis of the submission was that it should not apply more of a cost burden on industry. It is difficult to see how we can meet the targets without having costs in the short term. If the proper investment is made, there may be a greater cumulative return in the longer term. We need to plan for 2020, 2030 and 2050. Is IBEC working towards that? How can we meet those targets without incurring a cost at this stage?
