I don't recall specifically anybody talking about a sunset clause, per se. I think there was a clear indication by both parties and a recognition that this was a transitional agreement and that in some way, shape or form—although we used different terminology, it was in some way, shape or form—there was a desire to have a different type of bilateral agreement. There was a recognition that some things might not work as well as they could but that nevertheless, I think, in the short term, as they transitioned out of the EU, a transitional agreement could work. I'm thinking specifically about some of the rules of origin that would work better in a bilateral context.
