Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Main focus is on the capacity adjustments that you are currently executing. You mentioned the EUR 100 million saving that you see, I assume that's
for the year. Can you give us an indication of how much you could cut short-term capacity? So let's say, customers don't accept delivery for the
rest of the year, and you would have to cut by 30%. Can you do that? And how would you approach that? That would be my first key question.
Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: But you know, which -- does Italy offer you paying for temporary layoffs or for short time work? What's the situation there, specifically financially?
Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: So you cannot answer the question at the moment.

Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. Then my second question is on cash availability and liquidity. You have -- you mentioned you have EUR 420 million of cash and the EUR 640
million credit facility. Is this then the liquidity you would currently be able to draw on as of today, the EUR 1.06 billion, I think it is, or the other
liquidity?
Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: So I can use the EUR 1,060,000,000. So cash and cash equivalents, EUR 420 million; and unused committed credit facility, EUR 640 million. That's
basically currently available equivalent here.
Question: Sebastian Kuenne - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: And it would increase the working capital reductions, I assume, for the rest of the year? Would you expect that?
