Looking Forward
The next steps are underway to extend our collaboration for another five years and discussions are ongoing as to how we can increase the potential benefits to best meet the future cleanup needs of both countries. We have achieved an enormous amount in the first 9 years and I have no doubt that we will achieve much more in the years to come.
