Okay, but this is the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and I am talking about an issue that the witnesses raised in the statement submitted to us. It is, therefore, within their competence. They have come here and presented this document and I am now asking them questions on this material. I want clarity from them as to what was meant by what was stated. This information was shared with me and I was told there were limited exemptions. Another body was referred to, but its representatives are not here. I cannot ask them about this matter today, but I will take it up with them tomorrow. In relation to this issue, however, I have now learned from my engagement with the witnesses that funds have been or will be transferred to BIM before the end of this year, and may still sit with that organisation for up to two to three months. Without going into the detail, is my interpretation of this correct? I just wish to try to understand this aspect.
