We do not have the specific proposals yet from the Commission. This is highly complex. Europe has tended to divide between northern and southern perspectives and it tends to vary between countries that have a large of amount of gas in their generation portfolio and those who have a smaller amount. We are in one of the largest categories. Some of the solutions that might apply in other countries might not apply here but we fundamentally agree with the need for reform, especially with what has happened in recent weeks. It is intolerable and is not sustainable in any way. We have to react and respond with a whole variety of different policy tools, including market reform, which is what the Commission signalled strongly yesterday.
