Mr. Bernard Condon:
In terms of the technical standards of that product, they are very similar. Again, an ingredient buyer or commodity buyer will not really differentiate between New Zealand and European product from that perspective. I believe we have to focus elsewhere, namely, on the product attributes which are derived from a grass-based system. This does give us a point of difference and it speaks directly to consumers.
