The other 19 countries that have legislated for this have had to use terminology of one kind or another. For example, Austria and Cyprus use the phrase “high-risk supplier”; in Czech Republic, it is “evaluation of trustworthiness”; in Estonia, it is “high-risk”; the Dutch went for “untrusted suppliers”; and the Slovenians went for “high-risk vendors”. They are variations on a theme. I am willing to consider amending the legislation. I was not planning to amend the legislation but I am willing to consider amending it with a different name. I will look at that. I am not promising to come back with an amendment on it, but I will consider amending it on Committee Stage.
