We can read that from news every day. 00:01:10.166 -- 00:01:13.808 And as we are tied to the consumer-related 00:01:13.808 -- 00:01:18.971 value chains, the impacts are visible in our demand, especially in the new 00:01:18.971 -- 00:01:22.472 packaging and hygiene solutions area. 00:01:23.274 -- 00:01...
