Thank you very much, Professor Boucher.
Colleagues, we have a minor change to our agenda.
One of our witnesses from the second panel has to leave relatively shortly. He is an important witness, so we have invited him into the room to hear his opening remarks now.
With your consent, we will ask Mr. Jacques Maire, Member of the National Assembly of the French Republic, to deliver his five-minute opening remarks.
Mr. Maire, since you are online and are using a microphone, it would help the interpreters if you raised your microphone slightly, if possible.
You now have the floor for five minutes.
