The representatives have done so, and I thank them very much. This discussion is available to the public. While very glib or simplistic comments are sometimes made about targets or figures, what we are trying to do is put a little more context into broader explanations of what this discussion is about. I hope this morning's discussion has been useful for the representatives, as it has been useful for them to hear from us what we consider to be the main objectives. We would like to be able to have the Irish position considered when the final determinations are made across the CAP on climate change, in particular, and environmental decisions. Once again, I thank the representatives. I also thank the technical people who made this happen. We have a gentleman sitting over here who made sure we could both see and hear each other. I thank the representatives and wish them good morning.
