Clearly, the paper logbook should be provided if the other information is not. It is not satisfactory that neither form of information is readily available. There is, clearly, a timeframe for implementing the EU arrangements for the electronic recording of information. In that regard, there are areas we ourselves must deal with. We have to be temperate in our language about these things.

It is important that the information that lawfully should be available is available when it is sought and that it should not be a matter of difficulty.
