I might make a couple of points. We previously discussed the transfer of licences. Moldova, which was mentioned, is not an EU country but the RSA was engaging with the authorities there at one point. This meeting is focusing on driver licences and the NCT but, given the officials are here, could they update us on which countries are in and out and on the progress with regard to each of them? It does not have to be today. The Moldovan ambassador made the point that many of the people who are here want to work in the transport industry. Dublin Bus and other companies are looking for drivers but it is not as easy for people from Moldova to transfer their licences. I appreciate it is about standards and so on. Could we get an update on where we are with those countries?
