The question of a timescale does not arise. We must first come up with a device that will prove robust in terms of testing. The Rosita-2 project was carried out. Nine different devices were evaluated across six countries in Europe, including Belgium, Finland, Germany, Norway, Spain and France and five States in the United States through a series of laboratory and field based evaluations, six of which had a failure rate of 25% or greater. It is a matter of research and science coming up with a suitable device, in respect of which I cannot give a timescale.
