Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

If targets are missed. NBI got eight and a half months relief due to the Covid pandemic. As I said earlier, NBI is about three and a half months behind schedule and is catching up with that already. We have been told that for the target month of January, NBI will be a month ahead of schedule and targets for December will be met. In overall terms, it is early days to talk about the level of sanctions. I will not comment on future sanctions because NBI has not missed the targets yet and it is doing everything possible to achieve them.
