I will talk about the European Union, and Mr. Landreville could talk about the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries, as he spent a lot of time negotiating market access for the pork industry.
When it comes to the agreement with the European Union, we negotiated market access for approximately 81,000 tonnes of frozen or fresh pork, which is considerable. However, exportation to the European Union presents some challenges. As I was saying earlier, Denmark is one of the most competitive pork producers.
As you mentioned, the pork industry consists of a certain number of players. One example is duBreton, which is a key certified stakeholder in the European Union. So that company already has some ideas on how to take advantage of the situation.
Our responsibility was to negotiate market access, and that is a good start. However, I can assure you that constant efforts are being made by veterinarians at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, our representatives in Brussels and in European countries, as well as the trade commissioners of the Department of Global Affairs. We are trying to ensure that, when our companies comply with existing measures, those measures are also respected by European health authorities, which should recognize that our exporters are following the rules. Science is evolving, and Canadian pork producers are always using new techniques, be it in terms of carcass decontamination or other considerations.
It is important for us to ensure that science and regulations in Europe are keeping pace with the changes in the industry. We are working closely with them to obtain recognition and import conditions reflecting the reality of production in Canada, as well as a high standard in food safety, which is so important for Canadian exports. So that covers the European aspect.
