As the time is limited, I will ask one question which I do not believe anyone has asked. Can the Minister not stipulate that the Commission restrict the importation of prime cuts of beef into the Irish market on the basis of our unique vulnerability, especially in the context of the impending Brexit time bomb? If the larger EU economies want to export cars and agricultural machinery to South America, should they not take the lion's share of the beef from South America?
