Political pressure?

Does anyone know why the authorities are holding back the report on the Thomsonfly BOH incident. Bearing in mind the crew were able to be interviewed & the FDR/CVR readily available the report should have been released a long time ago.
The relevance to this thread - part of accident investigation should be the prevention of future accidents. If it is proved that the THY accident was due to similar factors then the authorities have inadvertently helped line up the swiss cheese. Surely more effort should be made to disseminate reports such as the TFly to improve procedures than reporting on catering trucks taking wingtips off aircraft parked on stand.

I know off at least 2 incidents where 737s have been to the stick shaker after crews disconnected a/t when hot & high to prevent spoolup, & then forgotten to increase thrust when regaining profile.
