Again, I stand to be corrected, but I understand that it is about an importation permit, and the technical nature of how you go about preventing import of these products is not under my portfolio or that of the senior minister. It is not that I am obviating; I am just not aware of the process. But the decision has already been made not to import. That was the mechanism, rather than putting it in this legislation.
