May I ask the Tánaiste about another issue that has been brought to my attention by the Bosnian community, that is, the major difficulty for Bosnian farmers when Croatia accedes to the European Union on 1 July? Apparently, it is very dependent on that particular market to sell its products. The Bosnian community here will argue that in the partnership agreement to date with the European Union, Croatia has met the competences and the standards required. With the Single Market, I do not know whether a particular trading arrangement is feasible. It is an issue that should be raised if a community is living in very difficult circumstances where that important source of revenue is cut off, and perhaps some arrangement can be reached to try to soften that blow.
