I also support that call and welcome the decision we took in private session earlier that some reports would be prepared. I am obviously concerned about the correspondence we have received from the west African farmers' organisations which have serious concerns about unfair competition and the impact this agreement may have on their businesses. This is quite a complex issue. It would be appropriate for further research and documentation to be prepared for the committee before we take any further action.
