I welcome the delegates. My first question is to Dr. Raza, whose insight into these matters is very helpful. There is a consensus in Europe, and especially in countries like Ireland with small, open economies, that TTIP is unquestionably in our interest. Several of the points Dr. Raza has raised challenge those assumptions. Will he clarify whether his organisation is allied to any group in Austria?
