There is post-programme surveillance. Instead of one visit a year by the troika which would be common across all countries of the European Union, we have two. There is an additional visit - post-programme surveillance. The issues raised with us on the country specific recommendations flow, almost seamlessly, from the troika and the end of the bailout programme. They continue with issues that were active when we exited the bailout programme last December. To specifically answer the Deputy's question, we have no issues with the recommendations; we are not surprised by any of them and we continue to work towards fulfilling them.
