In relation to reforestation, because that part 10 commences on 1 July 2010, you would anticipate that permits could be credited 12 months thereafter. Therefore, consistent with the regime set out here, given that you issue permits in relation to the preceding 12 months, then the earliest for these other sectors that credits or permits could be issued, subject to appropriate methodologies, would be 1 July 2012.
