Can I move on to the period at which you were acting Governor which was from 19 July to 15 September and just to look at that period? And I suppose, the things I want to discuss on are the type of representations, views or advices that were provided by the Central Bank to the Government or the other advisers regarding the bank guarantee and the extent of the discussions with Government. And you might also discuss your interaction with officials of the ECB, including the ... Jean-Claude Trichet on the options being discussed. So you might just give me an idea of ... of the type of areas that were being discussed around the guarantee at that time and just that two-month lead in which you were acting Governor at the time.
