In the agreement there is no specific chapter on small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs, and that is a concern I would have. Many of our exporters are smaller SMEs, and they would be competing with massive companies coming the other way. That is a concern I would have, that there is no specific chapter to support SMEs.
