G Kinsella enquired if the drop dead de for a decision and/or the potential level of work for Suppliers with regard to de-harmonision was discussed yet with the CRU. K Shiels replied th the RAs focused more on the issues rher than the timelines for finalising the thoughts. The UR apprecies th there will be a phase of work, if it did decide to push ahead with de-harmonision.
