With regard to what has been said, a significant amount of what would fall within the remit of this committee concerns EU competencies. These are obviously being dealt with in negotiations. From listening to the officials, I would imagine that, in many of these circumstances and if we face a worst-case scenario, there will be contingency plans at EU or State level and, in some cases, bilateral agreements. I refer to something that is ready to plug and play given that there will be a great amount of difficulty if we face the absolute disaster scenario that none of us wants to see.
