It seems that Luxembourg and Lithuania established their agreement in 2017 and fixed the price. I imagine the supply and demand would have been different then. Why did we not have an agreement in place earlier? It seems that we could be one of the last countries to establish such an agreement. Is that correct? Could we have got a better deal if we had begun to negotiate earlier? We have missed our targets every year since 2017. It did not come as a surprise that we were going to miss the target. Would it have made a financial difference if we had begun the negotiations earlier?
