Even I, looking in, know that they got access to 190,000 tonnes and we got 10,000 tonnes. I do not know what genius we had out working for us but it is a sad indictment of the people we have working for us in Europe if that is what we get. The least I would have expected was, maybe, 50,000 to 80,000 tonnes but we came back from Europe with the crumbs from the table once again. Europe has a lot to answer for here. We really have to get tough on it.
