I'll just say that consultation is a two-way process. As an industry representative, we want to have the ability to explain our situation and make sure that the negotiators are fully aware of what's on the table.
I reiterate my comment that I think the lack of access to the text is what makes most of the industries, including the experts, very nervous about a negotiation where you aren't able to do a proper analysis of what is on the table. You rely solely on basically what you're being told by the negotiators and by the people who are on these committees, who cannot reflect necessarily what information they receive but who give you confidence that what is on the table is either having an impact or not on your industry.
