Mr. Jannik Knauer:
The SAFE instrument is a short-term instrument meaning it has a lifespan until the end of this decade. No loans have been disbursed yet for that. There is the need for loan agreements. As my colleague pointed out, that will be the case early next year. The loan disbursements will be step by step. Depending on the loan agreement, there will be a timeline according to which, based on conditions that need to be fulfilled, these loans will be disbursed for four years in total.
