As you know, the negotiations with the United States are ongoing as we speak. Commissioner Sephovich is in Washington today. I just want to say we are ready for a deal. We want a negotiated solution. But you all know that at the same time we’re preparing for the possibility that no satisfactory agreement is reached. This is why we consulted on a rebalancing list and we will defend the European interest as needed needed. In other words, all the instruments instruments are on the table. Um we are aiming at the 9th of July. Um it’s a huge task because we have the largest trade volume globally between the European Union and the United States 1.5 trillion euros. very complex and uh a huge quantity. Um and uh indeed what we are aiming at is an agreement in principle. Um because I mean such a volume in 90 days uh an agreement in detail impossible. An agreement in principle. Um that is also what the UK did and as far as I’m informed there are only two countries so far worldwide that have concluded with an agreement.
