As we are trying to clarify things, I am inclined to discuss them one by one. On amendment No. 113 which relates to section 30, I want to clarify something. Section 30(1)(a) to 30(1)(c), inclusive, reads:

(a) the implementation of maritime spatial planning,

(b) compliance with the National Marine Planning Framework, or

(c) compliance with the State’s obligation under the MSP Directive.

For purposes of clarity, what could be in the implementation of marine spatial planning that is not covered by compliance with the national marine planning framework or with the State’s obligations under the MSP directive? In other words, what could be in 30(1)(a) that is not covered by 30(1)(b) and 30(1)(c)?
