Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Verheul, I would like to get back to the issue of government procurement. New agreements were concluded among Quebec, Canada and the United States last February, after highly protectionist measures had been adopted by the Obama government.
That was new. Will that be something of a pattern that agreements on government procurement with the European Union will follow?
I would also like to talk about natural resources, about water and energy. There are already exemptions regarding the European Union in other agreements, for instance, in the Agreement on Government Procurement. Have broader principles been established on this issue?
My last question is about postal services. Are postal services on the table? Has a negotiation strategy already been set?
