Industry committee  Exactly. That is why it is very important to respect creation. After all, we are educating future creators.

Industry committee  What do you mean by “balance”?

Industry committee  What I can say is that we are spending more money. I think that answers the question. I think what is being said on the other site of the table right how is that we must take into account—I think Mr. Longfield talked about this—the fact that the supply chain is important. Eve

Industry committee  I will digress from today's discussion. Regarding knowledge, the major change that has occurred since 2012 has to do with the fact that many sources of information are available.

Industry committee  I represent 130 of those institutions.

Industry committee  There is something very important that maybe some members around this table are not aware of.
