I agree with the section. Yesterday, I heard the Minister of State, Deputy Hayes, say that the section refers to a list of countries submitted to the Minister for Finance by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney. It is a list of countries with which Deputy Coveney expects to derive substantial agricultural trade. I did not know what the list was when I first saw it and I was concerned that a case had to be made for the list. I gather that the Minister of State made his comment following advice from Deputy Coveney. Therefore, I do not object to the section.
