There was a reduction in the number of staff in the office of promotion of migrant integration, which resulted from loss of staff on promotion. That caused a decrease in pay and has resulted in something of a saving. Some funding was not drawn down for the projects funded for the integration and employment of migrants. These projects draw down 80% of funding. My understanding is that there are difficulties in making accurate predictions, which may result in something of an underspend, but these are balanced out over time.
