Mr. Chairman, the role of the department is to study commodities and needs for commodities. Rare earths is a relatively new field for the department, as for most countries in the world. We have started with some steps to advance our knowledge and understanding of the economics and science behind them. I believe that what we are doing is state-of-the-art and is at the forefront of scientific knowledge.
