I have another question on leases. It may be historical but it relates to where leases have been created with no break clause, thus tying the State to millions of euro in terms of its responsibility in the context of the lease. For example, let us suppose a lease is created for 60 years, or whatever it may be, with no break clause. Regardless of what changes take place in the course of time, the State is tied to that lease. Why does that happen?
