Obvious to most that AUZ would likely target this status at some stage. Interesting they have waited until now and specifically state they want to be formally certified before end of year - why the sudden rush, why not do this in the 6months prior to now - or even during SKI's OT tenure?

I would be thinking the same especially when you think about who the company may be dealing with at present...trips to Europe/Austrade Euro/Austrade US etc - unsure it would be such a high priority with the americans but you could guarantee all the European car manufacturers would most definitely require this as a function of any agreement.
