I will now deal with the elements of the Bill which I welcome, including the role of the EPA. While listing all the failures, perhaps one of the few successes is the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and the work it has carried out. While the Bill is a response to an EU directive, the manner in which it is framed and the proposals contained therein in regard to the EPA and the licensing system are to be welcomed. There are some good elements in the Bill, which are not included in the directive but are the Minister's proposals.
