Setting up a 'commission on the issues' is a huge deal,,, The MOM could of just made a decree with a stroke of a pen but chose to engage, consider and then in the fullness of time will decide what if any of the 'proposals' will be applied to LLL. I dont think the market appreciates that this underscores the MOM's flexible approach and very good relationship that has developed to enable this concession.
