My argument then would be that the fact that they will be pushed to get the targets that have been set out indicates that the current strategy is not working. They will struggle to reach 6% by 2025. It is my understanding that designated public officials, DPOs, and non-governmental organisations, NGOs, are not happy with the percentage of the targets. They are happy with the percentage targets that I have put forward in my amendments. As I said, I did not try to reinvent the wheel. I did not try to go very far. These are small percentages. I know that the Minister is struggling, as he said, to reach the 6% figure. To me, that says that the strategy itself is not working, if they will struggle to get to the figure of 6% by 2025. I will move and press all of these amendments.
