Thank you, Mr. Chair, for indulging me.
Very briefly, I'd just like to say that we should not forget about the WTO. This has been coming up over the last five years, originating from the food systems summit in Rome, and I've made these arguments time and time again. This is coming and this is coming now.
Rather than trying to match or coordinate carbon adjustments at the border, we need to deal with it at the WTO in a trade agreement so that everybody plays by the same rules and so that these rules don't become disguised trade barriers and distort trade.
We need to focus as much time on WTO and on improving that so that it can handle the trade complaints that will come from this. We need to make sure that it's science-based and evidence-based and can be measured scientifically, so that all countries are abiding by it. I'd just like us not to forget about the WTO and augmenting that. We should be leading the charge on that message.
Thank you.
