Within ReFuelEU and the existing European files, there is a minimum mandate across aviation. That demonstrates that there is a necessity for demand and that gives regulatory certainty to the players within the aviation sector. Now, it falls to the airlines, the airports and the producers to scale that level of capacity. That is why Ryanair and others have signed contracts with many of the players in sustainable SAF production. We are at a low base and we need to ensure, from an Irish context, that we allow for that ambition within Europe. There is obviously a ten-year transition period for other countries, including some of the central European economies that have some SAF production at present. We need to ensure we make the decisions now so that we are in a good place in the 2030s.
