I have five questions and I will ask them quickly, if the Chairman will allow me. First, with regard to the BRIC countries, we have mentioned Russia and China but not Brazil and India, and I will also throw in Indonesia and other developing countries. Is there anything the witnesses would add in regard to areas where we are not represented? My second and third questions are related. The second is straightforward. How do our exports break down in terms of percentage between FDI and indigenous companies? Mr. Whelan talked about visas. Should we join Schengen, in his opinion? On exports generally, from memory, the EU saw 15% growth last year on average whereas Irish exports grew by 4%, which worried me at the time. Will the witnesses comment?
