Yes. As far as I know, we have. If the Deputy has any information on any areas where we have not done, I would like to hear about it. Not only have we fulfilled our pledges but we have pledged another €80 million in the last couple of months. There is some €30 million to be spent before the end of this year, effectively before Christmas, and then there is another €50 million to be spent over the next three years with UNICEF and USAID, on top of the €70 million we had already committed and spent this year and will spend again next year. We are not only following through on our existing commitments but we are increasing our spending significantly beyond that.
