This program was launched two and a half years ago in New Delhi. We are interested in those companies that have proven their reliability in the past and that have obtained a very high approval rate based on very reliable applications. We established direct links with these businesses, a contact point in order to avoid receiving fraudulent letters of invitation. The company communicates with us directly by e-mail. We have dramatically reduced the volume of documentation required, because we have been able to establish relationships of trust. The program developed gradually, and we are now dealing with more than 55 firms. These are mostly hi-tech firms and large multinationals that have the means to carry out a strict surveillance and control of the movements of their employees. Within the framework of this program, the reliability of the company facilitates decision-making.
The program has worked in a certain number of other markets, even if world markets are very diversified. Mr. Gilbert could talk to you more about this. We plan on determining if there are other markets where a similar program, tailored to the local context, might be put in place.
