First, I thank the witnesses for their presentations. They make a very coherent case. I will ask a couple of questions. At the moment, what proportion of companies operating in Ireland or in the UK, where it seems some of these works councils are coming from, have European works councils? Are these catering to the domestic market or has the UK been chosen as a base for companies operating in other European countries? Is this serving the domestic market or an overseas market?
