I have one question but it may not be related to this. It concerns an issue we will be discussing at a later hearing of this committee, namely, the country of origin assignation, which is not specifically a trademark but is related. I just want to check that there is nothing in this that affects that. We are happy to support this and will not be objecting to it but I just want to check that there is nothing here that affects country of origin. I can see from the Minister of State's face that the answer is "No". I did not think it was related but we will be having a session next week or the week after on country of origin so I just wanted to be sure that this would not in any way conflict with that. Obviously there are people coming to us who want to claim the certificate of origin and want some changes made to it to facilitate them. Is it correct that this would not interfere with that in any way?
