This is very topical. It started out of €480 million and then it went to €500 million or €600 million. Now it has gone to €1 billion, and now we are talking about €1.2 billion before even a surcharge. It is important to know why. Where are these figures coming from? Is it realistic accountancy at all? They are talking €1.2 billion before even a sod is turned. It needs to be investigated and we need to put our finger on it and say, "This is not good enough."
