These could delay progress if not urgently addressed. To stay on course, the report calls for coordinated action, regulatory flexibility, and sustained investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular KPI monitoring will be essential to enable agile responses and ensure alignment between ambition and implementation. TML will provide a new update on the state of play of enabling conditions each quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can consult the first quarterly report here: <a
