There was a relevant court ruling in Brussels that took the Department hugely by surprise. It was ruled that the NHA restrictions stuck and that it was not just a matter for national governments. I am sure if the delegates check in the Department, they will find the relevant ruling. On that basis, it will be possible to get the NHAs in under the same thing as SPAs and SACs. My understanding is that the European Court of Justice ruled that NHAs were subject to the same restrictions.
