Does anyone else wish to contribute on the second round? If not, I will ask two brief questions. Deputy Brennan asked about how the money will be spent and how we can be sure that it is spent on what it was supposed to be spent on. We heard earlier from the Commission that whether or not states are abiding by the law will not preclude them and is not part of the analysis in relation to receiving this funding. What is the oversight in relation to this spending? Is the European Court of Auditors looking at it? Will it do an audit of this spending? It is my understanding that it does not
