satisfied with our arrangement,

matchmaking, and leads generated.

Could we have more

visibility on the Chinese

market (especially for the

utilities)? (is it an open

market? How is the

legislation?)

Not open. It’s quite different in

terms of utility sectors, say

equipment/parts suppliers and

power plant developers will

consider the market in very

different way.
