Thank you. Merci, Monsieur Cardin.
I am going to do something I don't do very often. I am going to ask some questions of the witnesses.
First of all, thank you very much for being here.
In your presentation, gentlemen, you stressed how successful Spain has been in South America. You said the reason they were successful is that they had a plan. Could you outline very briefly what that plan was and how they carried it out—some of the key components of the plan?
For example, was it that they signed bilaterals? Was it that they signed agreements to protect investment? Was it that they had a lot of people on the ground—trade people in various countries around South America? Just what were the key and most successful, important components of the plan?
