We are not necessarily widening it. The parameters are very tight, but I do not want to exclude anybody that has a legitimate role in this space. I am certainly open to it, within the very tight parameters of an EU Act that has already been passed and is already in legislation. I do not want to exclude anybody who has something to add in this space.

I emphasise, regarding trusted flaggers, that it is very clear how applicants qualify to be trusted flaggers. A list is published every year and their decisions and work are heavily scrutinised under the existing legislation. It is quite an onerous task.
