A very large amount of money, €235 million, has been incurred in legal fees. There was always an expectation that the outworking of this was going to be costly. Is there an adjustment on that in the context of the progress that was made? The up-to-date figure is from 3 March this year. It would be very useful to go into private session if the officials will not or cannot answer in public session. It is important for us to get some sort of a sense of exactly what the timeline and likelihood is of retrieving some of these assets.
