I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Some interesting questions were asked. I would like to follow up on some of the ones raised and ask a few new ones. Since 2023, the commission can now impose administrative fines of up to €10 million or 10% of the company's worldwide turnover. What proportion of companies do not have to go through the courts process? It has been criticised and the commission mentioned that the fines that are levied for smaller types of breaches are insufficient. What sort of response have the witnesses got from the Government about those insufficient fines? Is it working on it and going to bring forward legislation? Has it received any indication at all?
