I think it's certainly growing a lot faster in the United States. It certainly is growing a lot faster in the EU, and I think we can probably take a lesson from the EU in the sense that because of the creation of the European Union--and that's not to suggest that everything they do is something we would want to emulate on all fours--they've had to look at all of their regulatory processes, but the actual act of creating this supranational body has required them to look at the things that work and the things that don't work, and particularly in the area of food. So I think in some ways they've definitely advanced farther ahead than where we are in the development of modern regulatory frameworks.
