Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all of our presenters.
Mr. Rude, if I can start with you, in your paper I notice the comment you make on page 2 about agreements that limit some sectors, in the sense of constraints that are not tariff-related, if you will, but that may have other pieces to them. You indicate that the EU wants to continue to exclude GM products and to protect its beef sector with a ban on hormone-treated beef. You also mentioned that the EU is looking at us in the supply-managed area.
From your perspective, what should we be doing with these trade irritants, if I can use the term? I don't want to put words in your mouth. I will allow you to tell me, rather than saying anything more.
