That is good.
I was thrown by the figure of €5 million for legal advice listed on page 164 of the financial statements. On the next page, it states that the fees for legal proceedings was €15.7 million and settlements amounted to €2.83 million. Will somebody please explain the figure for settlements of €2.83 million versus the figure for fees associated with legal proceedings of €15.7 million? Those two figures jumped out at me.
