I welcome the representatives. The meeting has been fantastic so far and the presentations were really good. The report on where we are going to go with our forestry from now until 2050 has been issued. A figure of 450,000 ha was mentioned. This is roughly 15,000 ha per year. Taking into consideration other pressures in the agriculture sector, such as those concerning the nitrates action plan, do the representatives honestly believe we will ever reach the proposed 450,000 ha, or 15,000 ha per year?
