ator FARRELL (—) (): I thank Senator Brockman for the question. I won't disappoint Senator Cash. I met with all of the European ambassadors this morning to discuss the very subject matter that you're talking about in terms of a European free trade agreement. These discussions allow both parties to raise issues.

From our point of view, we'll be seeking to represent the best interests of all our agriculture producers, as well as manufacturers, our miners and everybody else—all of those groups who've got an interest in this free trade agreement. We intend to get the best possible results for this country, and that includes everybody who works in the farming sector.
