the deal

Paul must be pretty confident that the deal will be out before we decide on the options. He's put his nackers on the line in this one, meeting professors and doctors doesn't really wash with me. Its closing a deal that's the problem, IMHO its not anything to do with asking other countries for permission to do the deal its the actual process of pushing a single deal through with no other competitor to tender. Due to anti corruption laws things like this have to go through parliament and that is the problem (well, if they are anything like my local council then we are doomed!!). I hope that after this goes through and other countries have got a yard stick that will make the process easier, either that if I was Paul I would be concentrating on countries that don't have this tendering policy.Im still extremely confident that the metamizer will be a real winner.
