Before I let the delegates back in, I have a few questions. Can we learn from how other border regions such as Switzerland and France or Norway and Sweden deal with this situation? Are there positives in this regard from which we can learn? This is completely unrelated to Brexit but what are the delegates' thoughts on President Trump announcing the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change? I obviously expect them to have a negative opinion on it, but I ask the question, given that it was in the news today.
