All the witnesses have mentioned multi-annual funding and that pipeline continuity.
I think the ACEI statement mentioned red tape and how the EU laws and regulations are transposed into Irish law. I do not know how an EU communication can be two-pages long in Spain and 200-pages long in Ireland. I used to live in Spain, and it is really easy to get planning there. You go down to the ayuntamiento and talk to the mayor and he decides. It is all done quite quickly. There is no corruption, or anything involved in it.
