Is it fair to ask you, Ms Boate? You have the knowledge from looking at the old licence and the new licence. You have the figures or the general differences that exist in the comparison of both licences. I know that you have looked at this because you mentioned it earlier, now that I think of it. Have you ever looked at the media coverage of this and the lack of transparency that has given rise to people working out the amounts over a 20 year period? If €15 million went unclaimed for each of those years, notwithstanding an increase in the sales and so on, then the operating company would have a clear advantage of at least €300 million in terms of operating its marketing budget.
