Mr. Van Harten, I just want to ask you quickly, are there alternatives to ISDS mechanisms? Can investors protect their investments in some other way? Can we have it all? Can we have a system based on the rule of law, and protect democratic decision-making, and have an orderly mechanism for protecting investors and ensuring that agreements are enforced, without having an ISDS mechanism with the disadvantages that have been identified?
