Dr. Fergal Lynch:

There were a series of discussions in the consultative forum and we talked about what would be the best and clearest definition. We examined several alternatives and suggested some. The main concern was to identify as quickly and clearly as possible the difference between an advanced and a non-advanced product. We suggested several approaches and settled on one. If the Deputy is asking whether we changed over time, we put forward several different definitions for advanced and non-advanced and settled on one which was published in the Bill. There was an appropriate gap between the time the Bill was published, debated and enacted. There was a difference over time in that definition but that definition was very clearly stated and once it was published in the Bill, it was not changed.
