Yes, with Mr. Holder. I'll try to be brief.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate your joining us this morning.
I want to go back to Mr. Cannis's line of questioning, just so that I have some clarity. You stated that no member state, of course, can negotiate a trade agreement with another country; it's the European Parliament trade commission.
What would be the procedure, then, if a couple of the member states found that they wished to negotiate a free trade agreement with, let's say, Canada? Could they, as two individual states, go to the European Parliament and say “We want to negotiate a particular trade agreement”, and it wouldn't necessarily apply to all of the other member states? How does that work? Let's say a trade agreement was desired by two member states who went and approached the Parliament about it. Would it have to apply to every other member state or else it wouldn't go?
