I will come to agriculture but I want to ask another question first. We have targets set but we are not reaching them. We are not even reaching halfway. I cannot remember exactly what reduction is required by 2030. Do the witnesses see us reaching the target or getting anywhere near it in the next ten years? Will we be behind every year and paying a penalty to Europe every year for being in breach? Will the witnesses give us an idea as to when we will actually catch up regarding our emissions reduction targets?
