Mr. Gerry Harrahill:

In the framework of the EU and the Commission there have been a number of engagements among those most directly affected by trade with the UK, which are Ireland, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The meetings are chaired by the Commission with the UK representatives present. However, they are about issues of common concern such as, for example, transit, which is transit through the UK coming from the mainland to here or from here to elsewhere or traffic that goes from the Netherlands to the UK and back to France. It is only in that area. The Commission has been very clear that it is in the context of trying to understand the potential impacts. We have had no engagement on a bilateral basis. It is very clear that it is the EU, the Commission and the UK.
