The Deputy keeps saying that I have said it is the same, but I did not. What I am saying is that where there are international agreements and treaties such as the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, TCA, that we completed with the United Kingdom, for example, and the treaty on the protocol, it is necessary to have some sort of mechanism to adjudicate disputes. That is where international courts and international tribunals come in. This mechanism is in that vein. I am not saying it is the same. I never said it was the same.
