Let us say the decision on the derogation is being made in July 2025. Brussels will probably work off the EPA report from June 2025, which will use the 2024 tests, which Dr. Cotter said earlier will probably not yet show improvements from actions taken a year earlier, in 2023. It will be hard. This is not a criticism. It is impossible on the day the decision is made to have up-to-date data. We could find out in 2027 that all the actions taken in 2022, 2023 and 2024 worked brilliantly and we have super water and the derogation could be gone.
