Two points to note from the final report:

1/. Limited traffic information/situational awareness given when delivering ATC clearances.

2/. Authorizing aircraft to line up on RWY 07R at a short distance from the intersection with RWY 01 without correlation with landing traffic on this latter.

Speaking as a controller, this confirms what I saw immediately on reading about the incident. Lining up on any crossing runway - and from an intersection so close to the runway with landing traffic - without giving traffic for SA, is something I would not do. (I would not do that where I work with 3 crossing rwys.) Especially when one considers the non-native language elements etc. Of course this does not condone taking off without a clearance but "Rwy xx, line-up and wait - landing traffic rwy yy" must be a sensible use of phraseology.
