The witnesses are very welcome. I could spend about half an hour asking questions. I really want short replies in order that I can be efficient with my questions.

What is the specification for the buses that were purchased? What fuel do they use? Some €65 million was spent on them. Are they diesel, hybrid or electric? What is their lifespan? If the witnesses have not got that information today, will they provide it to us in writing? I want a very short reply to that.
