From an Irish point of view, we have no particular national areas that we want to protect or are concerned about. Our commitment is to facilitate the implementation of a European Union decision which has got to this point and which has to be taken over the line - in other words, to get the European Parliament and European Council to agree. However, there is no Irish perspective of areas that we are particularly worried about, either from a national or European viewpoint.
