Thank you.
On low-level presence, this is an issue we want to raise in the context of these negotiations to provide a better framework with a bit more predictability to the trade.
We're also pursuing a parallel approach. As you know, the European Union has already announced that they're looking at ways of dealing with this issue. They will be submitting a proposal in January for their council's approval. It is designed, in part at least, to provide a bit more predictability to the trade. That means allowing a low-level presence as part of a shipment.
It is important for us to ensure that the measures being implemented serve our overall export interests in the EU market, but we also need to be cognizant that the issue of GMO is very sensitive in Europe. We need to approach this issue from a practical standpoint and ensure that over time there is more predictability to the trade.
The EU needs to import a lot of feed from Canada and elsewhere. It is in their interest as well to have a predictable import regime for products in the grain sector. We can work with them to try to devise a solution that will be practical, recognizing the political challenge they're facing in Europe on the issue of GMO generally.
