Questions :

1- How does a country abuse the protocol to produce more than its quotas?

2- Do you think governments should done some amendments to obey TPQs?  MAKE LAWS?  AMENDMENTS TO WHAT?

(Do you think governments should do some amendments to make laws to obey TPQ?)

AMENDMENTS ARE CHANGES.  CHANGES TO WHAT?  CHANGES TO CURRENT LAWS? WE MORE COMMONLY SAY, “TO MAKE AMENDMENTS” INSTEAD OF “DO AMENDMENTS”. TPQs (PLURAL)

3-Do you think enforcements have benefits for TPQs? I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY YOUR QUESTION. 

(Do you think enforcements are useful for TPQs?)

[THE GRAMMAR IS FINE BUT I WONDER IF YOU EXPECT ANYONE TO SAY “NO.”]

4-What do you think about the conclusion of this discussion?  DO YOU MEAN: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE SOLUTION?

(What will happen at the end of that discussion? Will TPQ be accepted by the authorities?)
