Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I just want to clarify, because in doing this study, we're trying to assess the impact of CBAMs being applied by the EU or the United States, where there is interesting discussion right now. In fact, I think the stat is that 73% of Americans think there should be border mechanisms put in place to protect their farmers.

Wouldn't these CBAMs that other countries put in place actually benefit countries that have strong environmental policies and whose farmers already have a good environmental track record?
