The way to make sure it doesn't is to have an agreement that ends up being very specific to the parties, and where the benefits of the agreement accrue to the parties and not to people outside. The biggest concern we're hearing has to do ultimately with transshipment and with leakage into the agreement from parties that aren't part of the agreement. That's where some of these arcane little characteristics like rules of origin come into play. To the extent that the value add and essential character come from the parties to the agreement, we will not be allowing this circumvention. That's my simple response.
