I agree. My worry, being blunt, concerns the discussion about the streaming levy, which was just €20 million, and there is almost a fear about that. A lot of it was cited as geopolitics. That is what I am asking. What should be the approach by the State? Should we be doing it, and what can be done at EU level? I get the witnesses' point about, with respect, the minnows competing with some of the giants, and they will need the State, but who is best placed?
