If the farminee Board approves the transaction in mid December and the only hold up is the FIRB approval, MEO can sing off on the farm-in subject to FIRB approval and commit to drill by the deadline. MEO would know from the FIRB what the parameters are for FIRB approval. Have a look at how many permits in the Carnarvon Basin are owned by foreign companies. I do not expect FIRB approval will be an issue.
