My response is very simple: the time to talk is over; the time to deliver is now. Talking doesn't help us anymore. The direction needs to come from the political side down. We've been working with the bureaucrats for about two to two and a half months, and I think they're very clear on our position and our understanding. There are some possibilities and some opportunities. It may take the cooperation of all parties to make it happen quickly now.
