Mr. Paul Hogan:

I would defer to colleagues who may have been party to somewhat more detailed discussion than me but I would certainly say that it is Aarhus compliant. This is part of the deliberative process; there must be some capacity to bring forward ideas and discuss proposals with a degree of confidence. There can be matters of confidentiality, business sensitivity and all of that. The proposals that are put forward may go nowhere and may never see the light of day. There has to be a degree of discretion and confidentiality around all of this before things are in the public domain.
