Today, we deliberated on the latest version and introduced some amendments in light of the observations made by committee members, and we can now say that this version is final after it has been finalized. We will now proceed to the launching of the technical committee in order to begin the effective implementation of the mechanism as soon as possible. We are optimistic that we will be able to accomplish this task quickly, especially in light of the worsening crises and increasing social pressures on the Lebanese people.”
