No, I am only talking about product. We can then talk about value added, and I have put those figures on the record as well. The only value-added product I am concerned about is the prepared consumer food which is food and added-value, where the exports were €2.6 billion but the imports were €3.6 billion in that sector. In the other sectors, the value of our exports are €13.7 billion and the value of our imports are €9.7 billion, the monetary values of which I accept. People did not think there was this gap.
