I say very strongly that the trade agreement is not finalised and is not near that at all. I take on board what the Deputy has said. I think it is important that Deputies know what is going on. I am really disappointed in the number of people, after receiving the invitation, who have come over to the Department to view what is in the reading room and go through the two and a half lever arch file documents. I am disappointed with that, though I take on board the Deputy's comments. As I said, the trade agreement is not finalised nor near to it.
