Is it fair to say that analysis is critical? If we do not have that analysis, will we keep granting derogations and stating we cannot show a correlation and, therefore, we should keep granting the derogations, and all the while the water quality deteriorates, or is that not fair? Is it a case that it is simply not feasible to do that level of analysis?
