I hope the Minister is right and that it is far stronger because we are not talking about the groceries order — that is out of the equation. As the Minister said, we share the same objective in that no one wants to see predatory pricing in operation or being, in any way, legal. That is the fear and obviously legal advisers differ on it. That is why I tabled this amendment. The Minister firmly believes the case law which exists and the European Union legal position is stronger than that which is in the amendment. That is not the advice I have received but we will have to differ on it.
