Mr. Charles Collier:
We have approximately €8 million in business to private customers and in the past five years there have been a number who just could not pay. The bad debts over five years indicate we have written off - between provision and write-offs - approximately €50,000 per year. That is due to liquidations or people not being able to pay. We carefully manage debtors but in certain cases we could not do anything about it.
