That is an important point and perhaps one the committee should cover in our recommendations. I missed some of Professor Tridimas's comments on this. Professor Butler seems to rely on the Confédération paysanne case in his interpretation and that seems to be at odds with what Professor Tridimas said as I was leaving. Without wanting to open a debate, I ask Professor Butler to elaborate further on why he thinks that is important.
