I think it is between 10% and 30%.

I refer to the questions from Deputy Ellis. I now have the information in reply to his second question about baggage entitlements. Cabin baggage entitlements did not feature in the Commission's original proposal in 2013 but it has emerged that some other member states are looking for it to be included in the regulations currently under discussion. We are not supporting it and we do not believe it should be included. In reply to his question about defibrillators, my understanding is that airline companies have contended that they are not convinced that the availability of a defibrillator would have made a difference in the circumstances. I do not have the information to hand on the legal requirements but I will revert to the committee secretariat with it.
