I'm not sure that there have been any specific initiatives on the part of the government to modernize the refineries. Much like in Canada, there are considerations towards, for example, making even more stringent the sulphur limits in fuel products. That, if done, would bring about modernization, if you want to call it that, but also certainly a great deal of additional investment in the refining sector to comply.
