A comment was made about structures. It is true that I was there when we got Tús through Cabinet. I must say it was not a scheme I had sent up. It was December 2010, if people remember that time. I took what I was given because we knew that time was short and at least we got something in. The structure was meant to be that a person would do his or her activation years and would later transfer to what we called CE mark 2. There was resistance to doing it under CE mark 2. That is all about activation. Therefore, we said we could call CE mark 2 Tús. People were to progress to Tús and the scheme was intended not to be time limited.

Does every CE company does its own payroll?
