That is very helpful because, for example, table 14.3 sets out an estimate for stationery, paper and envelopes of €1.4 million for both 2011 and 2012. The figures are exactly the same.

It looks a bit strange that we would be saving the exact same amount on stationery, paper and envelopes in two years. If it is a one-off saving we made in 2011, are we counting it again in 2012?
