     1        you describe it.

     3   Q.   You have read Mr. Gregory's statement, yes?
     4        A.  Yes.
     5
     6   Q.   Is there anything which you consider Britain was lagging
     7        behind other countries in any of the things that you read?
     8        Was it world class in all aspects?
     9        A.  You are speaking in general terms?
    10
    11   Q.   I am talking about McDonald's suppliers in Britain.  You
    12        said they are world class in terms of animal welfare?
    13        A.  That is correct.
    14
    15   Q.   --- leaving aside any other concerns.  Were there any
    16        things in which you considered they were not world class or
    17        just from your general knowledge of this country?
    18        A.  If you just give me a minute to mentally review the
    19        report.  At this time I cannot think of a significant area
    20        that would require or that it would below McDonald's
    21        suppliers or standards.  I do not claim they are perfect.
    22        There are always things that can be improved, yes.
    23
    24   Q.   If we just try to go through the questionnaire that you
    25        sent out.  I do not know if you have it?
    26        A.  Is it volume IX?
    27
    28   Q.   I cannot remember where it is to be honest.

    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is in yellow 12 at tab 16.
    31        A.  Can you direct me to the tab and page please?
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Tab 16.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think Dr. Gomez Gonzales wants to be on the
    36        same sheet as you.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  I am sorry, I have got Moscow which is the first
    39        one, page 1?
    40        A.  Yes, I have it.
    41
    42   Q.   If you forget the cover notes and just concentrate on the
    43        forms.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is part A.
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  Obviously, some of this has been dealt with.  Just
    48        on Moscow, you said that they use some beef that is
    49        imported.  It does not mention it specifically on this
    50        form.  Can you just remind me what countries you said were 
    51        imported? 
    52        A.  OK.  When I received this form I did not know if they 
    53        were importing products from anywhere.  I had some
    54        conversation with our German partners who had been heavily
    55        involved in this project.  I had a conversation with Doug
    56        Gullang who is the President of OSI International, one of
    57        our largest suppliers of the USA, who also is responsible
    58        for the operation of L&O in Germany.  He told me that some
    59        of the beef is coming from the UK at this point.
