Thank you for having made yourself available on such short notice.
We understand that the cost of energy is a very serious issue. Do you think it would be a good idea to create a gasoline prices review board? It may serve to explain why there are or are not price increases. That is my first question.
Second, industry representatives often say that emerging countries in Asia or elsewhere flood our markets with counterfeit products. I don't think you mentioned that problem. Industries carry out research and development to create new market niches here and elsewhere, but there is industrial espionage going on and our technology is being stolen from us, which means that quasi-identical copies of our own products are flooding our markets, but they come from other countries.
I'd like to hear your opinion on these two issues.
