I thank everybody for their presentations. This is a very interesting discussion. I understand the issue with air traffic controllers. We can see that the reason for it is that the salary, at €41,500, is one people could get on a building site, quite honestly. The Secretary General mentioned the pension. Unfortunately, people do not think about pensions until they are in their 50s or 60s, when it is too late. That can happen. When do the witnesses hope the radar infrastructure might be in place? Does the current system allow flights to land at night?

Bristow was mentioned earlier and I understand it has a fixed-wing plane in Baldonnel. It won the contract for search and rescue for the entire country. Has it based a search and rescue helicopter in Baldonnel?
