Mr. Paul Lynam:

It is the Commission, the UK Government, the joint committee. You could look for a deferral. It would be the obvious thing while negotiating an SPS veterinary agreement, which can take some time. The difference is that, until a couple of years ago, the UK was effectively in the family; it was in the tent. This should not be as long and drawn out, as long as the principle of accepting dynamic alignment is put on the table by the UK and then the EU is willing to accept a fast-tracking of an agreement. They are easy solutions but hard to get to.
