I thank Ms Sheridan. It is obvious that this is a complex area, which is why we asked for clarification. If the delegates have clarified anything, it is that this process is only in the early stages, that opinion on it is diverse and that it will be some time before it is actually agreed by way of co-decision. Ms Sheridan used the phrase "co-decision" which definitely means it will take a while. In essence, what we are trying to do is condense a lot of existing legislation into four regulations. Condensing 70 into four is going to take some time. I wish the witnesses well in that regard.

Flexibility is the order of the day. I intend to ask some questions at the end but will open the floor to committee members now.
