In terms of data, it would be useful.

I have two questions. First, when we debated this in the Seanad a while ago under the Independent group motion, the Minister was wary about the issue of strict liability and was falling back on that as a default reason for not making any changes to the legislation.

Can Ms Yonkova give us her view on the strict liability? I will ask the second question afterwards.
