You will note in Dr. Murphy's presentation that he refers to giving credit to the greenhouse gas inventories for certification for product labelling and marketing. That is referred to at least three times. This goes back to what Dr. Sheridan said earlier about biodiversity. Apart from anything else we have a higher percentage if we simply ensure it happens.

Dr. Sheridan made an interesting point about some of the existing hedgerows being in poor repair. After four rural environment protection schemes and two agri-environment options schemes and all the resulting hedgerows that were built I am surprised at that. Perhaps Dr. Sheridan can offer an observation.
