The purpose of this meeting is to meet with representatives of Autoglass Ireland to discuss the issue of windscreen replacements. On behalf of the committee I welcome Mr. Heiner Herz, general manager of Autoglass Ireland, his colleagues, Mr. Alun Donnelly and Mr. Chris Davies, and Mr. Mike McCarthy of the Transport Research Laboratory. I read the statement on defamation earlier so we will begin the contributions. I invite Mr. Heiner Herz to make the opening statement.
