Mr. John McKeon:
They have only just got going. So far, we have paid out about €12 million and referred about 4,000 clients to them. We are working with them. They always did a good job. Sometimes, they did not think we thought that because we were talking about procurement issues and they did not understand why we were going to procurement if we thought they were so good, but that was just a legal necessity. We are optimistic about the new contract, which is a multi-annual contract, and it gives them extra security. Previously, we renewed it every year.
