10. I understand that the information provided by [Company name] in this affidavit will be used to assess [Company name] application for a share of the [Quota year] beef and veal TRQ.  I realize that section 17 of the Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA) forbids anyone to furnish false or misleading information or knowingly to make any misrepresentation in any application in order to procure an import permit.  I am aware that section 18 of the EIPA forbids any person to knowingly induce, aid or abet any other person to contravene any of the provisions of the EIPA.
