Yes. The EU has a number of agreements on science and technology, research, and so on with developing countries, but we think it's important that the private sector be engaged in that. That's why we think technology cooperation and research and development must be substantially scaled up. At the same time, we believe it is important to maintain intellectual property rights because that stimulates research being done, and also you can then have market-specific rules for the intellectual property rights so that you can differentiate prices.
