Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I think it could be a fair comment, yes. If you have business-to-business relationships, there will be stronger relationships established between European businesses and Canadian businesses. That's how we see it. And that, of course, could facilitate later entry into the EU market.
From a technical point of view, as far as I can see, in the EEA agreement and in the Swiss agreement with the European Union, we all have rules of origin that allow quite a lot of third country input. If you look at what Canada is exporting today to Norway, for example, it's mainly raw materials--nickel and so on--and those products are being further processed. If you have a change in a tariff heading rule, or you allow 30%, 40%, 50% input of third country materials to obtain EEA origin status, that means the product is duty-free among all the EEA states. That means a Norwegian, Swiss, or Icelandic producer can buy the raw material, and if the origin rules allow, he will then be able to export the finished product to the EU free of duty.
But that's just an example. To go beyond that would be hypothetical. It's just an example, I think, of how these strong trade relations will be even closer if the agreement is concluded.
Thank you.
