I thank the Chair and I welcome our guests. I see some stark figures from June in the submission we received from the CTTC. It is stated that 40% of operators are planning to sell their coach fleets this year, for example. Do the witnesses have updated figures for the losses those companies have experienced? I refer to aspects such as average debts and the scope of the financial hardship being experienced. It was mentioned that the CTTC would like to see additional funding of €10 million. Would that amount be sufficient now?
