Even a temporary agreement not to test is thus a step forward.

About 60 percent of the $195 million in concessions had already been put into place under a temporary agreement with workers late last year.

It was extremely loose, based on old compromises and temporary agreements.

It was criticized at the time, and was by design a "temporary" agreement.

A temporary agreement was reached which provided $15.9 million to cover operating expenses and maintain service until August 15, 2010.

Italy made land available under a temporary agreement signed 25 June 1957.

The two sides did reach a temporary agreement in 2003, and a long-term deal about a year later.

The temporary agreement which resulted from the negotiations will apply after it has been signed.

The temporary agreement will remain in force until the end of July 2007.
