The fact that it has been reported on, that there has not been much of a change and that 30% is very high as it is involves one in three products means that this is not good enough and we must come back to it. I argue that when we discuss the work programme later, this is an issue to which we should return. The committee has dealt with it before, but we must come back to it because the figure is way too high. We are talking about hundreds of millions of euro. Many companies have raised issues about procurement and the fairness of the system. For me, this is an important issue to which Mr. McCarthy has drawn attention and we need to take cognisance of it.
