Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister not totally confusing clause 25, which says that the forest in the 430,000 hectares would immediately be protected and that these areas were verified through an independent verification process before 7 August? Is he not, deliberately or otherwise, confusing that verification process to allow, against this agreement signed by the Prime Minister, continued logging within the 430,000 hectares?
