Mr. John McCarthy:
There is not really. The variables that feed into the consumption taxes - VAT, excise and so forth - are pretty much personal consumer expenditure, retail sales and so forth. They are pretty much moving in line with what people are spending. It is very much in line with the historical norm. I would point to what was said earlier, practically every other tax head is there or thereabouts.
