Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for your presentation today.

I travelled recently to the United States. There was a situation in which the airline I was travelling on lost all the passenger information—it had a computer problem—and so the information had to be re-entered.

That raised a question in my mind. Is what we're proposing here today the same kind of process as the one the Americans use in pre-screening passengers who are inbound to the United States, or is it something different?
