To: Stephen Schwerdtfeger, IMG; channel participants. From: Sir Gregory Manning, Aide to the Cabinet, Bretonian Civil Service. RE: Final consultation results.
The same impartial regulations are applied to all bases and installations constructed within the Kingdom's borders, Mr Schwerdtfeger. Every modular structure developed prior to the implementation of our revised legal codex was similarly charged a licensing fee in some form or another, which varied based on the situation. The new laws provide impartial and codified regulations that serve to make the process considerably more transparent and fair.
Orbital Spa and Cruise continues to work with Bretonia through their holdings on Curacao, and active passenger services throughout our House. Should they wish to consolidate their position through the construction of an additional installation within our borders, they will of course have to pay the taxes specified. While I agree with you on the base's potential use and strategic positioning, it was the Orbital board's prerogative to pull out.
