That is absolutely true. I assure the Senator that we are working closely with MEDEF, our French counterpart, to ensure everything possible will be done. We have also made direct contact with the Commissioner, Mr. Hogan; his head of Cabinet, Mr. Peter Power, and other officials to make sure they fully understand our particular concerns.
