Mr. Mark Burke:
Going back to that, even in the years before we restructured, on a combined basis, we paid €280 million on the preference dividend and €160 million on the CoCos, contingent capital notes. We were paying €440 million to the Government on non-equity instruments. Given we are currently generating €1 billion on a recurring basis, we would view ourselves as being absolutely in a position to pay a conservative level of dividend on an ongoing basis.
