Mr. John McKeon:

Yes, it is. There is what is called the AGS, albeit I cannot remember what the acronym stands for. The European Commission and all member states' relevant agencies, including our Central Statistics Office, produce a report which includes long-term population projections for every country. They used the population projections from last year in the development of this.
