I have a supplementary question regarding the environmental aspects. The proposal will allow for approximately 100,000 tonnes of additional beef from Mercosur to enter the EU market. Is it the Government's position that if an environmental paper is agreed, we will agree to the importation of all those tonnes of beef?
