I want to ask about the EPA's charter. Mr. Flynn referred to waste companies signing up. They are pivotal in this. The charter itself does not suggest using FoodCloud, for example, zero-packaging areas or menu formats that might reduce food waste. Why not get far more specific and go after the sources of food waste in the supply chain where we can actually see a behavioural change and look for people to sign up to that? I say that especially now that the potential of compulsory targets is very imminent. Surely it is a golden opportunity to pull all these people in, not on a voluntary basis but by means of a summons. Obviously, they can refuse, but it is much more a sectoral expectation of the sector rather than something that is an add on that they might sign up to voluntarily.
