To be honest, I do not know the intricacies of the taxi industry across Europe. I can verify, however, that the stamp 2 visa issue is primarily one for the Department of Justice and Equality. I understand there are probably trans-European principles or unwritten agreements in this space as regards students, etc. Broadly, they are probably necessary. We send students around Europe as much as other countries send them here. Through secondary legislation, we can define the context according to which the stamp 2 visas can be used. I refer to areas outside Europe. On that basis, we will try to ensure the matter is dealt with through secondary legislation.
