Mr. Simon McKeever:

It would be challenging. It gives me some comfort that the figure the Deputy is stating, namely, the 6% of goods that may need to be checked, opened and examined, is a lot lower than the very stark figure that was mentioned at the very beginning of this process nearly a year ago. It absolutely will be very challenging. In the best-case scenario, for most types of trade an electronic message will be sent from the cab of the truck as it approaches the Border.

However, the type of freight that may need to be inspected will go into an inspection point. That will be challenging because it does not exist at the moment.
