So in effect we are not differentiating between them. I know that there is a question about what sustainable palm oil might be, but if in fact it is sustainable we would not differentiate and therefore any claim that was made by a sustainable palm oil manufacturer about its sustainability could be illegal to place on a label under this legislation—is that the case?
