Yes, I understand it is a regulation. There is also a LULUCF regulation which basically requires us to maintain the stocks we have from our land use sector, which means for us our forestry in the largest part. Under those regulations we are obliged not to deforest and to at least maintain what we have. We are required under our own Forestry Act to replant.
