Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, again on the technicalities of this, I would like to ask our ambassador representing the commission on this particular subject to clear up an ambiguity that is obviously there.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, I just want to say in conclusion that I'm very grateful for the comments and the very informative views you've put unanimously and passionately before us. I think it was a very useful exchange, because we came here to listen in a very open format. We have one very imp

Fisheries committee  We're meeting another group at 11 o'clock, the Magdalen Islands, then we have the lunch afterwards.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chairman, I just want to clarify one thing. I would like to clarify this issue of the oft-quoted declaration and the technicalities of that, if I may.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Ambassador. Just to finalize on our side, I will ask Mr. Den Dover to take the floor.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm conscious of the time factor, Mr. Chair, but our Italian member has asked for the floor, as has Mr. Duarte Freitas. Perhaps you would allow us to have those questions.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much. Mr. Braghetto wants the question, but I'll take it, if I may, because I have been to Cancun and Hong Kong, and next week will be in Geneva, trying to do exactly what you have said, trying to revive the process and in the manner that indeed you mentioned, wh
