Thank you, Chairman, and thank you, Mr. Buti. You are very welcome. I just want to go back, if I may, to 2008. In your opening statement you say that it is not for the Commission to judge whether ultimately the decision to issue the guarantee was a good one or not. But the Commission had to approve the guarantee for state aid purposes, so was that not a judgment being made by the Commission at the time?
