There are benefits in this agreement for the SME sector. There are also benefits for the dairy sector with quotas for cheese and infant formula. The SME sector will have much greater access to the procurement process in Mercosur countries. They will also have an easier process and an agreed customs procedure that will make it much easier and more cost effective for them to do business in that sector. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, will answer the other part of the Deputy's question.
