No, it's not a concern with forced labour that's dictating the policy.

And certainly, I mean, you know, in Europe, I mean, how do you determine what in Europe is produced with forced labour?

Exactly.

This tariff, I wouldn't say is significant for Europe at all.

Right.

I think that the tariff situation is really gone into the background here for the number of reasons I stated.

Right.

It's the American companies and the American consumer that's paying them.

There doesn't seem to be a fall off.

And certainly in Irish exporting, there's no sign of a fall off.

You know, normally what a tariff does is it raises the price and then the importer turns around to the exporter and says, you need to cut your prices.

We're not seeing that at all.

All we're seeing is the U.S.

consumer absorbing it and the U.S.

importer absorbing it.

No, because, I mean, a U.S.

produced widget is definitely going to be more expensive.
