I want to bring it back to the fines, and I know we are not calling them fines but costs. If we are mid-table in our performance on the SDGs and, when the time comes, we fail to deliver and must buy the credits from other countries, is there a possibility there will not be a high enough performing country from which we can buy those credits? If that is the case, and there are no fines but there is a need to buy credits, what happens then?
