Thank you.
We have already had two generations of documents with biometric identifiers. On the one hand, this is the electronic passport for German citizens, and this has been introduced, as you just mentioned. In addition, at the end of last year we also introduced, following European provisions, the residence title, the electronic residence permit, which is now issued in a card form. It used to be a sticker in the passport of the person concerned, but now we have started to issue an identity card type of security document with the same security features and biometric identifiers as we had with our electronic passports.
With regard to the passports of our own nationals, we are still in the rollout phase. You cannot change the whole generation of existing passports in a few months' time, so the old passports, those without biometric identifiers, are still valid. They are valid for up to ten years. From now on it will be about seven years or so for all documents to be changed to the new system.
