Mr. Joe Healy:

I think Commission Hogan has gone on record talking about standards in the Mercosur situation. We feel, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation, FAO, states very clearly, that Brazil, for example, is not able to meet the standards. It is not in a position now, it has not been in a position in the past and is very unlikely to be in a position in the very near future to meet those standards.
