There is one thing I should clarify because we are dealing with two different issues. The more technical issues that I discussed with Senator Bacik would involve the council and parliament but the patent arrangement is by way of an international agreement so it does not formally involve the council and parliament although it does involve 25 EU member states. Technically we are dealing with both together.
