Applus+ dropped from 595 to 552 employees and only advertised for staff last July. It only applied for visas for the foreign staff coming in from the Phillipines in September. The 22 staff from Spain, with due respect, are just off the plane. We are public representatives and we have to call it as we see it. The explanations here today are not sufficient and the only way this can be remedied is to put the extra resources in place to bring it back.
