Is there ever a scenario in which, with €500 million put into the rainy day fund, that €3.3 billion in unexpected taxes can be used in a targeted way for once-off measures? We are in a wartime situation with energy prices. What is happening in Russia is partly the reason gas prices have gone up. Is there any circumstance in which we would use some of the €3.3 billion for the purpose of targeted, once-off measures?
