To clarify, there are always talks about all claims and there are much more than 1,000 claims in this case. The job of the State is to get the price as low as possible. We are all at one on this. My question asks whether talks took place to settle the overall figure of the claims collectively, that is to come to a figure for them collectively instead of going through the different dispute mechanisms and the High Court to settle all the claims. Were there talks of that nature?
