You have said it is a work in progress. Since this has been going on for 15 years, I imagine it will take a while longer. It requires unanimity. Do we have an idea of the position of other countries? Obviously, some countries stand to benefit from it more than others. Several countries will be subject to a negative rather than a positive impact. Do we have an idea as to which countries are less in favour of the proposals or which have stated they are more in favour of it?
