Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Thank you, Minister, for your answer. I want to follow up on what you said just a moment ago, because you repeated what you said yesterday, which was: 'A list of coupes that will be harvested will be agreed to by the government.' Are these coupes to be within the 430,000 hectares of informal reserves? Is it true that clause 25 prohibits that logging within the 430,000 hectares or are you going to renegotiate the intergovernmental agreement to allow them to continue to log within the 430,000 hectares?
