Mr. Gabriel Makhlouf:

It is a fair question and one can debate it. Once a year, the governing council hosts a retreat. This was not an ordinary meeting but a retreat. There are 20 member countries so this is a once-in-20-years type of event. We can debate whether or not we should have done it on the cheap but in inviting the guests that we invited, we decided to treat them well. That was the decision we took.
