Mr. Doncha O'Sullivan:
We carried out an exercise using the EU database last year. This database tracks registrations of people with temporary protection. The figure we put in the public domain at that stage was 30%. However, we attached a considerable health warning to that on the basis that the database was not necessarily designed to be used for such an analysis. The way in which data is entered could vary quite a lot from one member state to another. It is not a figure we rely on heavily but it is the figure we quoted when we did that exercise.
