We have something that is not necessarily determined legally, we have a principle that includes goods and services in terms of EU law and we have cases where it has been clear that it so applies. That is the principle this legislation is based on. The key difference, as I understand it from what Mr. Smyth said, is an EU regulation is already in place for how that goods piece might be applied. Is that the key difference?
