This is bureaucratic stuff. It takes years to implement them. If I am not wrong, SECR took 5 years to become operational after the decision was announced in 1998. However, in this case we must also take into the account the fact that the Central Government had changed and hence the decision might have been delayed.
In general, it would be absurd on our part to assume that SCoR would start functioning roughly a year after it is announced. We must also give time for things to happen and keep reminding our representatives of their job.
