How likely might a potential legal challenge be? Is that more likely to come from one of the EU institutions or is it likely to come from a domestic business, for example? What would that mean? That is the legal question. The policy question is for Senator Black. How would Senator Black feel about this Bill getting caught up in a legal challenge? I do not want to use the word "success" in terms of measuring it but even if this Bill went through and got caught in a legal challenge would the Senator still see it as progress knowing there is a percentage chance that this is where we would go if we were to include services?
