I thank Mr. Molnár for his contribution. He mentioned that timely policy measures led to the global gas markets balancing out. Are we not really looking at the policy measures we now take? LNG is unnecessary if there are sufficient energy efficiency standards and if we continue to invest in renewables but if we do not take those policy measures we may be looking at a different kind of future. Is Mr. Molnár saying there are two possible futures and the policy measures we take now will determine which is more likely to yield benefits for us?
