Turning to my final question, given that there are very specific transitional procedures for a large array of areas of activity, what is the purpose of the general provisions? Is it in case something was missed or is it just to have a general catch-all? Are there issues on which the Minister of State's officials are advising him that may benefit from these general provisions? I am not making a case against them but just looking to understand them.
