And then finally through referenda for two years, to call to a stop to any diplomatic actions taken by the governments. Of course, during the recent referenda, we have learned that even in previously quite controversial topics such as the pork import, the people can actually have informed conversations and finally make a decision, which is binding for the next couple of years. And riding on that conversation, of course, I now will enjoy the persimmons from Fukushima, I hope very quickly, actually, as of yesterday, it’s now legal to import. So, we do trust our citizens to also understand diplomatic and trade negotiation issues by being radically transparent of the functions and the factors that are involved in such conversations.
