Editorial perspective

Editorial perspective: these are separate national developments, not one shared compliance rule. For project discussions, keep installed capacity, permitted export, remote-control responsibilities and access boundaries as distinct checklist items. Verify the official documents and technical conditions applicable to the actual project.
