Regarding CO2 emissions, we have a climate action plan. Returning to the differentials, this looks at a 55% reduction on 1990 and we are looking at a 51% reduction on 2018. That is enshrined in legislation. That is a competency of ours. At the moment, have we competency over setting how we reach that target? Why do we aim for 51% and this COM has a 55% target? Why is that the case?
