Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We take the point. My recollection, and I will double-check the figures, was that the figure is closer to €450,000 or €500,000, but I am open to correction on that. That is still far too much. The Chairman should not get me wrong on that. I will not go into how many billions we actually spent and what percentage of the total the figure is. We know from some of the work we do around processes that the reporting and, therefore, the payment of prompt payment interest, has improved. We accept it is a figure we would like to reduce to as close to zero as possible.
