I read the EU's document and found an interesting subheading of consistency with existing policy provision in the policy area and the legislation aims to complement the existing environmental policy. Is the proposal designed to work in synergy with the EU environmental laws? Will the proposal give impetus to the group implementation of these laws? Are we talking about additional measures and expectations that are not already covered in current laws or plans which will result in land, for example, being put beyond use? What support systems will be in place? Who can avail of these supports and what sectors will be excluded? I ask my questions because the manner in which this proposal is going to be presented is crucial in how it is perceived and I would like to hear the thoughts of Mr. Curley on that matter.
