I am very happy with that reply. The one thing I would press Dr. Brennan on is that if we do not start to institute some requirement on sectors to look at design principles or packaging principles or whatever, even if it is only on the very loose basis of comply or explain, that it is not a stringent regulatory obligation. CIRCULÉIRE has 25 members out of God knows how many enterprises in the country that presumably have not come up to the starting line on this. If we do not put something like that into the legislation how will the momentum be built to do the material flow analysis in order to do the exploration of the potential of different sectors and so on?
