Thank you, Chair.
I would like to finish up with your impressions. You had mentioned, correctly, that it's not just the absence of Talisman, but that in fact there are no western companies involved. From the time Talisman left until today, I would like to know if there has been any impact--positive, negative, or none--in terms of two things.
The first is the impact on the ground--in other words, the number of unofficial under-the-table things that might be flowing to the governments. Second, you did mention something that I can honestly tell you hadn't crossed my mind, and that was the influence of China on Sudan in the world.
On the basis of there being the change from western companies to no western companies, I have those two questions. First, has there been any change whatsoever on the ground, and if so, what was it? Second, was there any change in terms of the international picture, and if so, what was it?
