To answer your question on South Korea, that was in 2011. South Korea was our biggest market. South Korea concluded an agreement with the United States and Australia and our market share was reduced by half. It was a $1-billion market. Generally, when it comes to the agricultural and agri-food sectors, you must remember that there are a whole series of measures that can be considered as non-tariff barriers. What we generally see is that despite free trade agreements, once the tariffs have been eliminated, there is an increase in the number of non-tariff barriers.
As tariffs go down non-tariff barriers go up. What we see in the TPP agreement is a number of mechanisms that basically reaffirm the WTO commitments in terms of non-tariff barriers but also go a little bit beyond. I spoke briefly about some of the mechanisms that are to be put in place. There's a chapter, for example, on modern biotechnology. There's a chapter on sanitary and phytosanitary measures. I think there are close to 20 or maybe 25 different committees that will be established to facilitate co-operation amongst officials on things like the timely approval of biotechnology trades and the removal of non-tariff barriers as they arrive.
It will be very important to watch how these are implemented because this is going to be critical to ensure that our exporters realize commercial benefits and that market access is viable in the end. There are committees to address these issues.
