I wish to ask a couple of follow-up questions. When is the report expected from the EASA and the ECDC in relation to a testing protocol and what is the timeline in relation to that? As regards the efforts outside of testing to agree a common approach, Mr. Cornelis referenced that there was a difference between the Commission's proposal and that adopted by the Council. What efforts are being made to harmonise those approaches, the difference between which is a considerable weakness that has been identified by many? I have a final, brief question on the rights of passengers. Mr. Cornelis mentioned that advice was given. It is probable that millions of people across the EU are still waiting on vouchers and refunds. Has the Commission taken a case against any of the airlines in Ireland in particular?
