The US permission to trade is on paper. Acceptance of the energy truce, the facilities it would protect and its implementation still need to be established. If commercial gains and civilian safety are to count as achievements of the same negotiation, the protection terms must be made public.

The proposed maximum of 9.5% is not an approved increase in home sale prices. The more important question is whether the new allowance would recognise costs already covered. LH and the land ministry should test the competing claims about sustaining supply and shifting costs against the same cost breakdown.
