In terms of environmental aid, the opening remarks mentioned that the creation of a new category of grant will allow the agencies to access such grant applications solely on suitable environmental criteria. Is there any risk that as the grant decisions are being made solely on environmental criteria, they will potentially be made for companies that face considerable other challenges and may have trouble in the future? For example, if a company is in serious financial difficulty, will there still be some mechanism for that to be taken into account or will it be picked up?
