We will take on board the views of the Deputy since he is an expert and former Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, but I am sure there are views on both sides.

I thank the delegates for their very comprehensive presentation this morning on the agreement. It is a presentation members can use themselves. This meeting was very useful for us. I am sure the next Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade will be dealing with this matter in a more substantial way. Since this committee is coming to the end of its term, it will be a matter for the new committee. I am sure it will be at the top of the agenda.
