I am interested in the group on trade. Earlier we discussed tariffs. Let us consider the brochure prepared by the Department that contains great statistics. It states that the exports of food and beverages to the UK amounts to 65%, traditional manufacturing accounts for 36%, materials 38% and electrical equipment 49%. The tariffs scare people. How many meetings of the interdepartmental group have taken place? Does the Secretary General sit on the interdepartmental groups? If not, then who does?
