I acknowledge the points the Senator has made. However, the derogation on the issue has been sought, and the time set out in the amendment is in conflict with that. Therefore, I cannot accept it. I understand the point the Senator has made. We are anxious to put the Bill into operation as quickly as possible. Detailed guidance will be issued and there will be an information campaign. I know we will discuss more of those issues later in the debate. As a result of the derogation on that aspect, I cannot accept the amendment.
