Given that the Central Bank was informed about concerns, while it was not investigating it, the information was brought to its attention in regard to concerns being raised at that public session, was there a subsequent examination in relation to that question, based on the obligation under the prospectus regulations to look at relevant risk factors and so forth for investors? That is part of the obligation. They dovetail. The Central Bank has obligations under the money laundering legislation but it also has obligations on the assessment of risk, under the prospectus regulation. In that regard, was there an examination of the consideration of the risks in respect of money laundering and was that potential risk a factor in the decision to approve the transfer of approval?
