Mr. Maurice Quinn:
No, they are a contribution to costs. There is a scale set with the United Nations and that scale is impacted by the service one is providing to the United Nations, for example, the equipment and the numbers of people one has deployed. An interesting thing is that the United Nations makes the payments as regularly as it can but it sometimes has to be in funds before it can make the payments.
