With regard to procurement, I see in Vote 20, on page 3, reference is made in the report to 50 contracts, totalling €5.3 million, that were not procured in line with government procedures. The Comptroller and Auditor General referred to it. Some 11 of them were extensions of existing contracts and one can understand rolling on contracts. Some 21 of them, amounting to €2.1 million represented cases where local procurement arrangements were not in line with Government guidelines. That is an average of €100,000 in each of those 21 cases. I think the Acting Commissioner says she has corrected it now. What is the biggest item where local arrangements were not in line with national procurement?
