Some countries are more vehement in their opposition than others. Some are still considering it. I have spoken to agriculture ministers who are vehemently opposed, but there is not a unanimous view across every government. I have spoken to some ministers for agriculture whose finance ministers might have a different role. In general, there are countries that have significant concerns. Then there are like-minded countries such as France, which is on the record about this. Sharing those concerns, talking through their strategic approach and how their governments are handling that is a key part of what we are doing.
