Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I put it to you, Minister: are you not completely misreading your own government's agreement? Clause 26, from which you quoted, states:

The State will ensure that, until the further independent verification process … is completed, wood supply required … will be sourced … sourced outside the 430,000 hectares …

I ask: is the government, under the signature of the Prime Minister, not in complete breach of the word of this public agreement?
