There is a role to be played whereby we are not waiting around for these discussions to be completed at EU level. We are asking Departments with responsibility for energy, agriculture and transport, in particular, to come forward with their sectoral roadmaps. These are the proactive measures we are taking to force those Departments, in a sense, to devise the practical measures that will meet our objectives. It would be good if you invited representatives of the Departments to appear before the committee to tease out the issues that are of concern to the committee and also the issues of concern to the Department and see where we can arrive at a meeting of minds.
