laminated glass -- >> so laminated glass is actually a fairly strong material. you know, again, if you hit it in the center, it is. it's a little weaker on the edges because what happens is it can kind of chip, and sometimes it will run, or whatever. so the edges -- because essentially you're talking about two pieces of eight inch glass. the edges are a little bit fragile. but, you know, that's what happens. essentially, you've got point of impact there, but it all stays together. and so in a quake or whatever, in an accident, auto glass, we used a lot of that in the auto industry, a lot of lamination. so this is what works pretty well for that. plastic, you know, plastic is easy. we're doing more complicated plastic, but great material, except scratches, it does all sorts of things, and it burns. not the perfect product. another instance that we're talking about, that is what do we do with mirrors. mirrors are essentially quarter inch glass, with a silver backing. and so the -- how do you protect those. these can't be tempered. they can't -- technically they ca

and so laminated is probably most skylights that we do are laminated. or an insulated glass, where the laminated is on the bottom, and tempered is on the top. >> with an air space -- >> with an air space. the laminated, at one time, they used to sell tempered skylights but they really didn't work terribly well. yes it breaks into little safety cubes but if it's falling from 100 feet above -- >> the code had a provision that you had to have a net underneath to catch the pieces, if it broke. >> which i'm using. so at this point, not going there. it's laminated on the bottom, tempered on the top, so that a fireman can really walk over this on the rooftop, and whatever. you know, it's good for the top. bottom is protected. so that's primarily where most wire glass has gone. >> just a comment about skylights in the building code. skylights of glass can be located at any distance from that property line protection that i mentioned earlier. typically in san francisco when you're on a property line you have to have a one hour wall. olderbles don't have it but a

nevertheless i want to tell members of the commission are not there representing countries fear laminatingy countries that they, are there. and they're not they're representing countries and it comes from that point we try to be independent and just the member states and britain is well represented and the prime minister. >> thank you very much. >> thank you mr. president. i apologize for my late arrival. i didn't wait until the end. we are living in difficult times from 2008 was a very thorough banking crisis and economic crisis in 2009. banks took on debt and the public to gone debt like a budgetary crisis. this has led to cuts and austerity so that in certain countries the european union the situation has become most dramatic. there is a danger that in 2011 and 2012 the crisis would lead to a social crisis in europe. so if the commission is willing, is the commission in a position to discuss how the underfunding of the social expenditure in the european union particularly in the countries that have been the hardest hit by the crisis are you willing to discuss how we can do something abo
