That is not what the plan states. The idea was that we would try to get money flowing into SMEs. The presentation, while good, puts forward the idea that the target has been surpassed and that €3 billion has flooded into SMEs. However, that is not the case. The majority of the €3 billion is the same money that the SMEs had, merely restructured. I will move on, as we will not agree on this point. We have been playing with figures.
