What was the surplus for 2017? The witnesses might also give me the figure for 2018. I notice that one of the submissions predicts a return to deficit in a couple of years. It is on page 21 of the briefing note. The gross debt is shown in billions of euro in table 14 of the briefing note. A general Government deficit of - €0.3 billion is shown for 2020, and - $0.8 billion in 2021. It seems to be going back to deficit. That is on page 21 of that document. Am I right in saying that?
