There is no need to draw lines. That is absolutely and clearly what I am saying. It would be crazy to do it any other way. Because of the drawback on competitiveness and productivity as a result of us not having the necessary infrastructure in place to guarantee growth in future, there is an opportunity for us. We have to look to the demographic challenges, the challenges with pensions and the challenges with climate change. We also have to do that. I think we can do both of those things in a responsible way going forward. The regional imbalance concerns me a lot because of my own geographic location. It cannot be ignored.
