I have a final question on health. When the devices were removed, some of the emissions were measured at more than 40 times the standard in the United States. In respect of safety, particularly in built-up areas, has Volkswagen, either internationally or here in Ireland, initiated research into the possible impacts on general public health and on the drivers of the vehicles themselves? Mr. Himmer might picture the scenario in which one is sitting in traffic for 30 minutes or an hour in a vehicle emitting 40 times the standard amounts. Has there been initiation of research on that front?
