I am aware that some delay is occurring, mainly in the eastern and northern counties. This unusual situation is caused by a recent increase in demand, combined with the temporary closing of one factory for renovation and with the development of exports. I believe that the position is a temporary one and that manufacture will be adjusted to meet the demand.
