I didn't say less monitoring. What I have said is that our focus is on the results, and we've been clear that we need to have scientifically valid results and need to meet our national and international obligations. It's clear from the science that we need to use these two methods, and indeed we're integrating these two methods with data from satellites on a constant basis, and we partner with different organizations such as NASA to get that kind of data. But we are looking at whether we need to have the same level of frequency, the same number of sites. That's the discussion that the managers in Charles' directorate are having with the scientists.
