Regarding the investment plan, when we are dealing with the excessive deficit procedure we cannot breach those targets but we can now because the European Commission has just decided to change the rules on investment. Is that correct? If we couple this with investment from Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's plan on the use of state resources, it will not be accounted for.
