These conversations and these decisions are always based on scientific evidence. You have scientists cooperating in terms of what is the case for an issue, for example, and you have collaboration taking place in terms of best practices and methodology. They will keep what it is they need to know and how they can have access to that type of science they need in order to make their decisions. The decisions are the purview of sovereign nations. Each country will make a decision as to what they intend to do.
