First and foremost, I'd recommend a consolidated list that is searchable and has a number of terms, because people may not use the same term to describe the same good. Some people might put in “live animals”; other people will put in “cow”, and others will put in “calf”. It would have to cover the various permutations. Have a list that's searchable. If you're asking if you need a permit or a licence to export something, search what you're exporting, and then be told what legal requirements are there. That would be extremely helpful to small to medium-sized businesses, and if we can link that to the SIMA consolidated list that just came out, add the UN sanctions to that list, and add the Magnitsky sanctions, you only go to one list for individuals and sanctioned goods. That would be a huge step forward. We just don't have the resources. We also don't have resources to answer every question that's posed by a small to medium-sized business. There aren't the government resources.
