Thank you. Well, I hope, in my answer to Neil Hamilton, you accepted that I said I think the presumption that it’s going to be a very positive thing is a little early. But, you know, as I said, there are opportunities, and I think we do need that more flexible approach. You mention specifically scallops and mussels, and how we move forward, particularly in relation to seafood. I’m going out to our local seafood expo in Brussels in April, because I think there is a lot we can do for the fisheries industry, which, maybe, have been hampered at times, and it’s about getting that more flexible approach. But I go back to what I was saying: market access is absolutely critical.
