Kan Kommissionen for det andet forsikre os om, at den under forhandlingerne ikke lokkes af de amerikanske forhandlere til at indvillige i, at det første skridt skal være en såkaldt "tidlig høst", som tilfredsstiller de nuværende amerikanske forhandlingskrav, men gør det langt mindre sandsynligt at opnå fuldstændig liberalisering?
Secondly, can the Commission give us its assurance that during the negotiations it will not be lured by the US negotiators into agreeing, as a first step, to a so-called'early harvest 'which, whilst satisfying the current US negotiating requirements, would make the achievement of full liberalisation much less likely?
