Mr. Michael Nolan:

It is not dissimilar. We are working to the same EU rules on environmental protection legislation, procurement directives and remedies. People can bring challenges to projects at any stage from conception right through to scheme close-out. Major projects are challenging and they are becoming more challenging. A new European Economic Area, EEA, directive will be issued in May which will bring in more parameters to protect the environment, particularly the human environment. The bar is set quite high, but it is a bar that is set across Europe. This means that we need to plan now for what our needs will be ten years from now. The journey on those projects needs to be started now rather than discovering in five years that we have very little to work with.
