I do not understand how all the gears in the EU work. I understand this is COM (2022) 304. The member states were written to. Has Ireland written back yet, giving our opinion? Based on documentation I have seen, I understand Sweden has opposed this regulation. Have any other countries opposed it? What is the process in this? Where does DG Environment come in? Where do the MEPs come in? Where does the Council of Ministers come in? What is the pathway on all this?
