We will be working with our European partners on how we will meet our 2020 and 2030 targets. Obviously, we will be guided by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in respect of how we are doing at present in terms of fitting in with the 2020 targets. We have a very big challenge there. Modelling is being done by UCC and the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, that will help us on that in those negotiations. A great deal of intensive working-group work will be taking place in the next few weeks to help us meet those objectives. I would not like to offer a final outcome before we complete the negotiations on that.
