That is already the case for safe countries. While we make the decision, there are countries we have designated as safe that others have not, and other countries have designated other countries as safe where we have not. It is up to us to decide what is a safe country, but there are parameters and guidelines to which we must adhere. That is already the case and that will not change. At the moment, I am reviewing eight other countries on top of the ten that are currently designated as safe, but there are already parameters there to which we must adhere. That will not change.
