I have a couple of points. The legal fees for the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, have increased. The increase this year will be in the order of 50%. Is there a common thread in the cases being taken? Is that why there is an increase of 50%? Is it a consequence of the implementation of new lobbying regulations?
