What I said was that I note the commission has now decided to submit CETA to the Council for decision as a mixed agreement. This means that the agreement contains provisions that fall under both the EU and member state responsibility. It will be a matter for the Council and the European Parliament to decide on the signature and provisional application of CETA. Following a decision by the Council, with the consent of the Parliament, it will be possible, as the Deputy says, to apply CETA provisionally. However, I also said that the process will require that I, as Minister, move a motion in the Dáil to ratify the agreement and that there will be a vote in Dáil Éireann.
