I thank the Minister. I will start with the EPA report and the EU targets, which are relative to 2005 rather than our 2018 targets. The EPA is saying that with the existing measures we would achieve a reduction of 9% by 2030 and with additional measures it would be 25%, down from 30% that was estimated last year. Will the Minister outline the range of fines we are looking at if, for example, we only have the existing measures and the reduction was 9%? What fines are we looking at if we achieved a 25% reduction?
