Mr. Gerry O'Malley:
Basically, the model we are looking at is the UK system. When they introduced continuous licensing in 2004, their evasion rate was in or around 5%. That is well documented. In the meantime, because of continuous licensing, it has dropped to 0.7%. That is the latest figure. We have opened discussions with the UK authority about drawing on its model for tracking and monitoring the ongoing effectiveness of the measures it has introduced.
