Very briefly: this has been done to provide certainty and to deal with all of those that are currently in the pipeline. There are no games and no tricks. We set this out as a long-term process, and, in the spirit of cooperation with the opposition, to ensure that past decisions were not subject to being overturned on technicalities we have agreed on this approach. It is as simple as that.
