I thank Mr. Nolan for his presentation and for keeping us updated on what his organisation is doing. All of us have been approached in the past couple of weeks about the initial confusion before Volkswagen came out with its statements. I received an e-mail from a company which has a fleet of vehicles and it was wondering what arrangements for compensation there were on account of the fact that it had to take the vehicles off the road and the vehicles suffered a reduction in resale value. It had gone for an environmental ISO to comply with the quality required for transport but this has thrown all that into chaos. They are saying that this fleet of vehicles has damaged the company's credibility. Will this loss of value be made up to the company? Will there be reductions on new vehicles if they have to be replaced?

Mr. Nolan said there was no evidence that other companies are affected by this. Have other companies said clearly that there is no issue or is it just that there is no evidence for it at the moment?
