Fathima I thought this was a great initiative by Qatar. But what I find funny is that they come up with superb ideas like this, and think that by giving a story to the media about it, that it will be implemented and adhered to.

They have to officially inform vendors, they need to indicate a fixed deadline and they need to warn about potential penalties for businesses not conforming. And then they need to be seen to be penalising offenders after the deadline.

I am behind the idea, but I am laughing at its implementation.
