Mr. David Owens:

As I said, we attend European Commission working group meetings. We are consulted by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications on many of our files, such as energy efficiency files and so forth. We are consulted by our departmental colleagues on such issues as the energy tax directive and so on. We also attended Conference of the Parties, COP, meetings to look at the international climate finance piece. We work with the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. We attend OECD committees, in particular one on carbon mitigation and we attend meetings under the International Monetary Fund, IMF, Article IV, which is are happening now. We are across anything we can be brought into really. Also when there are projects to go forward to the multinational development banks, there may be doubt among desk officers and they would ask us what we think about certain aspects of the projects.
