Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I am sorry that we have so little time to deal with this very serious situation.

Military and civil personalities and even some companies played a major role in the coup. Could we say some of them are also involved in the development of the free trade framework that is being negotiated?

Mr. Kent, the former Minister of State of Foreign Affairs for the Americas told this committee in June 2010 that he was in favour of the reinstatement of Honduras in the Organization of American States. In the present context, is it a good thing that Honduras should be readmitted as a member of the OAS?
