Is there provision for an opt-out, or perhaps not an opt-out but that a member state could have a derogation to make a decision, as opposed to this being a one-size-fits-all approach across the European Union? If the proposal is to reduce data exclusivity from eight years to six years, albeit with the caveat that Mr. O'Connor has given on the buyback, whatever about where it eventually lands, is it possible the State could seek a derogation in this area and state we want to make this call?
