I have asked the team to ensure that in every way possible we are putting schemes in place that are flexible in that regard and, furthermore, that everywhere we can we are encouraging, incentivising and facilitating people to plant trees and forestry, that it all adds up and that there are no perverse disincentives or blockages. We have to work within the confines of the overall EU regulations, etc., but I have asked the team to look in great detail at what we can do to ensure that it all marries up with the core objective, which is that we facilitate trees and forestry and, in every way we can, provide for, allow for and encourage them.
