In December, the initial work was started and we realised it will take quite a bit of time to do it properly. The Department has not had the time to deliver on it because of other issues. To be able to make a decision on the import of a document, it could only happen after it has been fully researched in order to understand if there is nothing new in it. From my perspective, a decision could not be made in advance of that. That would mean front-loading the research of the document.
