I have one question for the Department. It has been mentioned a couple of times,and there has been an emphasis on the fact that the 70% target has been exceeded a number of times. That is really good internationally, and we are almost at the top of the class in Europe in terms of recycling. That point has been made. This is a question for the Department as it is over the legislation. It has looked at international recycling levels, so it can say Ireland is top of the table in Europe. Is there any other situation in an EU country, or anywhere else in Europe, where the levy is set up as it is here?
