Mr. Paul Savage:

In very simple terms we cannot use TAMS to support people to comply with the legislative requirements that are there. The issue is with regard to people making sure they are in compliance with the regulations in the first place before they seek to secure additional storage capacity through TAMS. There is little room for manoeuvre on this point. Legally from our point of view, people have to be in compliance with the requirements of the legislation. From an EU perspective, we are not in a position to fund any investment that only allows somebody to come up to the compliance threshold. For this reason it is pretty clear-cut that TAMS support will only be available to those who comply with the requirements.
