I agree with the idea of an officer as well.
I will just move to a quick last question. It is perhaps for Mr. Kavanagh or Ms Nash again. What need to be done about those state aid maps and trying to get them passed at European level? The last maps were a bit of a disaster when it came to the tranches and areas that were left out. That is an issue we can all agree with. In Portugal, for example, I understand a system was set up for supporting film and TV based on population density. That makes sense, though I am not sure that would get passed here. However, Portugal is obviously within the EU and it managed to get its state aid maps passed. What do we need to do to get new state aid maps passed if we come up with some type of incentive?
