What we have entered into so far are agreements that are binding on the parties only. In that context, our analysis was that there was no need to consult.

The next step will be to enter into treaties with our partners, MNA, MNO and MN-S. At that point, we will consider again who should be consulted. It's at that point that we will consider whether that potential duty is triggered.
