I am very frustrated with what has happened in the past few hours. It is nearly a line of self-regulation gone mad and I am quite disappointed with the answers. When will we have the report? With the deepest respect, December 2017 is a long time ago and this is a really important matter. It is amazing that we do not have the report before us by now. Will the report be published in the next few days, weeks and months or will it go for years? Is that really the way we are going? I have been here for the past three or four years and we have had many hearings, most of which I attended. This is one of the most important matters to come before us and it concerns who owns veterinary practices. It is a big issue on the ground. I am a bit annoyed by the answers and the lack of clarity from this afternoon's discussion. We need to have the report published and it should be brought back to us as soon as possible.
