I am a new politician and before that, I spent an awful lot of time in Asia. I was in Asia at the time of the Rana Plaza incidents in Bangladesh. For me, it was very much a 9/11 moment. I knew exactly where I was, the effect of it and what it meant to the people there but the fright I got was the reaction from the people in Asia because they said at least this one was public. People were not told about incidents that had happened if you went back ten or 15 years ago. It was such a devastating incident that happened.

Moving on to Guatemala, and I apologise I was not here earlier, where are we in terms of corporate and government responsibility in Guatemala? I understand all the issues; I have seen them first hand in Asia and what the witnesses are saying has been replicated. That is the point I am making. It is a hugely interesting subject but can we discuss Guatemala itself?

Where are we with the EU treaty? We also have to have corporate responsibility right across the world. This is first question is on Guatemala. It may have been brought up before. The witnesses can share it; I do not mind.
