I thank Ms McSherry very much. That is two of the three issues put to bed in a very short space of time.

Let us be fair, the other proposal is the serious proposal regarding where we are regarding the North Sea, etc. Could Ms McSherry possibly elaborate on that? Of all the three proposals, and I do not know about the first one there, the other ones remain probably where we are. Could Ms McSherry elaborate on Norway and third country involvement in this negotiation and how that happens as it is an issue that comes up about how Norway has access to our waters? What do we get in return, etc., so that we can get a better understanding of how the third country element ties into this proposal and the negotiation practice?
