The purpose of today's meeting is to look at how the customs system is operating and to improve it. We hope we have all the stakeholders today and that out of these discussions will come a system that people will understand better. If the system requires amendment or tweaking, that should be done to ensure we continue to trade with and be connected to the UK.

I will move on to members. The first speaker is Deputy Carey, who has seven minutes. As we are on Microsoft Teams, I want the witnesses to know that the members will have a full seven minutes to put questions to them in a back-and-forth manner. I ask the members and witnesses who are not speaking to mute their microphones. Deputy Carey, who is on loudspeaker, has seven minutes.
