I would like that question answered - yes or no. Is it not the case that there is no specification that it would be the ICS system, and we can come back on the merits or not of that? It simply mentions investor-state dispute mechanisms. The future agreements that may be attached to this may, indeed, contain different investor-state dispute mechanisms.
