Mr. John Melvin:

On the connected systems agreements, a number of agreements were put in place at the time of both the first interconnector and the second interconnector between Britain and Ireland. Those agreements tend to cover flows in normal commercial operations. The gas security of supply regulation 2010/994 introduced the n-1 infrastructure requirement. Part of that allowed the requirements to be met on a regional basis. Simply as a matter of law, given the UK is no longer the EU, we cannot use that aspect of the law as written. We would be reporting that we do not meet the n-1 standard. None of that changes the connected systems agreements. Many agreements are in place between the TSOs in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Great Britain. There is a treaty in place between the Governments of the UK and Ireland. None of those have changed; they predated the 2010 legislation. However, as the UK has left the EU, we will be reporting that we do not meet the n-1 standard because we are not in a region with the UK.
