I am looking for confirmation that the figure remains broadly accurate. It will not happen overnight but, in the event of the UK being a third country, there will be some 1.5 million physical inspections or movements having to be checked for documentation. Given movements of some 2.3 million, it will mean between 100,000 and 200,000 checks on goods going across the Border. Can Mr. Cody confirm that and speak about it in some way?

Mr. Orban spoke about facilitation posts that would not necessarily be at the Border but would be between 10 km and 15 km away. What are the facts in respect of that issue?
