Hon. (Prof.) Anil Jayantha stated that the “in principle” agreement represents the agreed framework for a final decision, though not the signed agreement itself. He argued that prolonged delays of more than two years have imposed costs and said decisions should now be made by weighing costs and benefits in the public interest.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 “In principle” means that is the final agreement framework. It is not the final signed agreement, but it is the agreed framework within which we can decide, weighing costs and benefits. Dragging this for over two years has already cost us. We must act in the public interest.
