I'm always leery about trying to explain the rationale of why other people or other countries do anything, but you know, not everybody has the domestic procedures that we do in terms of putting things into effect. In fact, in some areas an international treaty becomes part and parcel of the domestic law, whereas we, as you know, have to change our domestic laws to bring them into conformity with the international treaties we've undertaken.
So the Panamanians might say that there was no haste involved and this is just their normal pace for doing these things, because once the agreement, the negotiation, is concluded, as you know, the next phase is to go into the so-called “legal scrub” to get the English, French, and in this case Spanish all lined up, at which point the ministers will sign the agreement. At that point, it's up to the domestic procedures of the countries involved as to how fast it comes into effect. Some just go more quickly than others.
