I thank the Ministers for their presentation.

There is consensus about how things need to be managed, going forward, and the responsibilities that brings. I want to check one figure in respect of the core year-on-year increase. If there is €4.3 billion, of which €2.5 billion is already spent in terms of demographics, that leaves only €1.8 billion for core spending.
