That is what I have gotten from Tokyo. Having said this, I will be very happy to answer any questions that you may be interested in asking, particularly with respect to Japan's bilateral meetings today. Also, in your previous briefing, you were saying that some countries may not join this EVSL process. I understand that Chile and Mexico are against it. What we understand is that the Ministers I should be rather precise and rephrase this.
Japan understands that a sort of consensus is now emerging.
When I say consensus, I mean that the Chair will entrust to voluntary judgment on the selected nine sectors. We understand that the senior officials, on the basis of the Canadians' proposal, are going to work out exact wording on the nine sectors. Therefore, we still do not know at present how the wording of the Ministers' Statement on the nine sectors will be agreed upon. As far as Japan is concerned, we consider the principle of voluntarism to be very important. While we understand that the principle is kept and shared by all the other APEC members, we will participate in work for early voluntary liberalization of those sectors.
