I would say it's still effective, because while the United States is a user of the system, they haven't “appealed into the void”, so to speak. That's what we call it here. It's not the case that they are trying to proactively agitate the system by appealing into the void, knowing they're blocking appellate body members and knowing they're not parties to the MPIA. That's a good thing, and it speaks to the continued usability of the system.
One hundred per cent, if the United States appeals a case before 2024 and is blocking members to the appellate body and is not part of the MPIA, I'm not going to pretend that this situation does not make it more difficult to resolve the appeal, but nothing prevents—and this has happened as well in a couple of cases here in Geneva—members from looking to find a solution entre eux, between or among themselves, to a dispute when they don't agree with the ruling.
I think I said this in my previous answer. Is it 100% ideal? Absolutely not. That's why we're working to find a solution, but at least it is something.
I found the case. It's the Colombia french fry case, which I should have remembered. It's the Colombia french fry case with the EU.
