Are the officials worried we could sign up for the directive and our urban centres could be the sting in the tail when it comes to trying to ensure we qualify as having good soil quality? Have there been any negotiations at a European level regarding the officials' engagement so far? Our urban centres are quite moderate in size in a European context. I am sure other countries will have huge issues regarding urban centres. Has there been any engagement at European level about how we can find an appropriate way of dealing with our urban centres?
