    "content": "With regard to the competition policy, if we put our products to compete directly in Europe, then the provision we have been given may not work and we can look at that. In the area of intellectual property, people may not think that we have a lot of intellectual property to protect. Once we start opening up and trading, you find that there are areas where people pick ideas from you and develop them. On the area of transparency in public procurement, we may think that we are the only people with the problem of lack of transparency, but I think the problem is in all countries. When we have such arrangements, the agreement is favourable and we can support it. There are remedies that have been put to safeguard our country from dumping, so that many goods are not dumped in our country because we have opened up. Like in any agreement, you must have provision for amendment and review. In this case, it is every five years. There are even provisions for exit, so that if we feel that this Agreement is not good for us, we can exit."
