That is something we would have to do in the allocation of the black box. We could look at a mechanism to close the gap, depending on what that gap is, and that in itself may vary. The exact management of this will have to be worked out. As I said, it is an iterative process. At the very start or, if I recall rightly, even in the programme for Government back in 2020, we could see some of the complexity. I do not recall the exact wording but we included a provision in the programme for Government recognising that we would have to have some flexibility here, that this was not a two-plus-two accounting exercise, and that we are dealing both in the technological solutions and in the science of what is possible. I think we cited the Danish approach to setting targets and setting ourselves a vision.
