Will Dr. Horn tell the committee what is the unfinished business of the aviation task force, were it to be re-established? Did it look at any of the traffic light systems in Europe, such as the one being proposed? How quickly could it report back?

I ask the ITAA representatives if the €25 to €30 million is owed to the travel agents from airlines, which they have to refund to customers of their own. Are they at liberty to say which airlines are involved? What funding is required from individual airlines? We are getting questions on that. We will bring the airlines back before the committee. We know the pressures they are under and we accept that but there must be an element of fairness.
