What is the response of the countries that are talking about over-quota tariffs and the reduction of those? As someone mentioned this morning--Mr. Lebeau perhaps mentioned--reducing a 700% over-quota tariff by 50% is somewhat different from reducing a 100% tariff rate by 50%, which is 50%. There is such a disadvantage to us. Why can we not find some common ground in meeting that point where we come together, rather than leaving us, even though we have reduced our tariffs and they also have, with them still having the greater advantage? How do we come to some sensible common ground on that?
