Whatever is the interest of your proposals, zilch, low, high or fantastic, prioritizing our work is in itself a priority and we must push our existing CRs to REC. It's not only a question of standard, it's also a more complex question of IPR. And that's why we absolutely need the discussions on the charter we're going to have tomorrow. I hope you agree with that. </Daniel>
