     1        We have seven people involved in writing it, but it was a
              joint effort.  Everybody wrote chapters.
     2
         Q.   Parts were allocated to members?
     3        A.  Exactly correct.
 
     4   Q.   It was decided whether what was written was accepted, how
              it should be modified or whatever?
     5        A.  Exactly correct.
 
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  There is one sentence on the next page which must
              be 137, which I do want to ask you about.  It is in the
     7        second paragraph.  It is the fourth sentence which starts
              Quick Service Restaurant Packaging.  Do you see that in
     8        the first complete paragraph, the second paragraph on page
              137?  Do you have that?  It is the fourth sentence.  It
     9        begins with the word "Quick" at the end of the fifth line.
 
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Six or seven lines down the page?
              A.  OK.
    11
         MR. RAMPTON:  It says:  "Quick-service restaurant packaging
    12        accounts for only a small fraction of municipal solid
              waste, so any complete solution to our solid waste
    13        problems will require actions across industries and by all
              consumers".  So far as you are concerned and so far as you
    14        know, is that a true statement?
              A.  Yes.
    15
         Q.   Can you then turn over to what must be page 138?
    16        A.  Could I just make an additional comment?
 
    17   Q.   Yes, of course, any time you think -----
              A.  I think the next sentence is important, in my mind.
    18        It says, page 137:  "Given this reality, EDF in particular
              desired to create a model approach that could be used by
    19        other companies".
 
    20   Q.   Do you want to read the rest of it?
              A.  "And as McDonald's new policy recognises, being a
    21        business leader carries the responsibility of being an
              environmental leader as well".  By the way, that thinking
    22        in that last sentence is in our environmental policy.  Our
              policy states that as a business leader, we are going to
    23        be an environmental leader as well.
 
    24   Q.   As you told us this morning, you have the muscle in the
              market to make sure that happens?
    25        A.  Correct.
  
    26   Q.   Thank you for that.  Can you go over to the next page 
              138?  The second paragraph:  "The task force concluded 
    27        that there is no single method for minimising solid waste
              at McDonald's.  Rather, there are a number of specific
    28        solutions, that collectively employed, will achieve
              significant waste reductions".  True or false?
    29        A.  True.
 
    30   Q.   Then it says:   "Origin of the task force".  Do not bother
              about the first paragraph, that is history, but the next
