They have not said it directly to me, but it is not the kind of issue about which other finance Ministers come up to me. They do not come up to me and say that if I lose a case I am expecting to win, they will be lodging an appeal in order to get some of the money. I have no doubt at all, given the statement the Commission made about the matter, that in the event that we lose the case we will face multiple claims in regard to how the money should be spent.
