Going to the case law, the suggestion is that we might face a case if we were to try to include services. There is a case on the prohibition externally of trade in goods and services. This is the Rosneft case. It is a European Court of Justice case on restrictions on trade in goods and services connected to Russian breaches of international law in Ukraine. In this case, the court found those restrictions in trade in goods and services would be justified on grounds of public policy. Is the Rosneft case something the Department has looked at?
