Mr. Tom Loftus:

As I outlined in my opening statement, we have reservations about the impact of the extension of full mandatory fee collection. That includes the type of thing we are speaking about - how far we go in terms of levying additional costs on the productive sector.

I may have misunderstood the Deputy's earlier question. The regulation as written provides that administration costs will be included and they can be attributed. We could do that now if we so wished. That said, the level of administration cost as an additional charge on the total wold be a very small percentage, less than 5% of the total cost.
