I apologise for cutting across Ms O'Connor. My question is, does the EPA think that there should be provisions in the Bill to provide for a refusal? I know what the heads say, but it seems odd that there is no provision. If the EPA's view is, having done an assessment, that there is a problem, surely it would like to have that power to be able to refuse, I presume in very limited circumstances.
