Allow me to add to my colleague's answer.
There is no doubt that we have allies on the question of sensitive products. Several European countries, as well as Japan, are members of the G10. These are all countries that are determined to protect certain commodities.
The Europeans and the Americans also have sensitive products. I think that we now have unanimous consensus on sensitive products; the principle was agreed to in July 2004. Now it has to be decided how sensitive products will be treated. The July 2004 framework agreement provided some assurance. However, it now feels as if the issue of sensitive products is being downplayed, and that concerns us.
As I explained earlier, the reason why some countries, especially European countries, downplay the matter of sensitive products is that they have dropped their guaranteed price. They have reintroduced direct subsidies and, consequently, are able to reduce their tariffs. It is very important to understand that the US and Europe, especially Europe, are playing smoke and mirrors; they are not going to increase access to their markets. People in the know have told us that the Europeans will not give an inch, particularly on dairy products, and that we will not gain greater access to these markets.
As I said, it is a case of David against Goliath. The firepower is unequal. They have reintroduced their subsidies, while we are left with tariffs. That is why I spoke about the interconnected nature of the three pillars of the negotiation. This is something that has to be understood.
The last point I would like to make is that we should follow in the footsteps of Norway. Norway was given special treatment regarding the blue box, because it was found to be full of subsidies. They asked for reductions, the timeframe was reduced, and concessions were made. Legend has it that the Norwegian negotiators slept at the doors of the meeting room because they were not allowed in to make their case. However, one day, they met the American negotiator and argued their point. Perhaps we should do the same. If we cannot reach an agreement with the other countries, I think we should probably do as Norway did and invoke the exception.
