Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agree­ment covers almost all trans-Tasman trade in goods, including agricultural products, and that under ANZCERTA all goods that originate in Australia may be imported to New Zealand with no tariffs? Therefore, would any decision by the WTO in fact not affect New Zealand's obligation to maintain the duty-free flow of goods from Australia under ANZCERTA?
