As we see it, if there is any way of reducing the political impact of quota allocation, that would certainly be a very good thing. At the same time, there need to be real consultations to determine who will sit on these committees. So far, the consultations have taken place out of politeness more than anything else. They consult us, but it is more out of politeness than out of interest. It is a little like what is happening this morning: we are given four minutes to make a presentation, on 10 days notice. That is almost an insult to us.
