We are dealing with the National Treasury Management Agency's accounts separate from those of the State Claims Agency, with which we will soon deal in a separate session. We will take a five-minute break between sessions.

I have some questions for the witnesses based on the information provided. I thank them for the very professional and helpful presentation. On the Apple escrow account, the three fund managers involved - Amundi, BlackRock and Goldman Sachs - are based in Paris and London. If one of them underperforms, are there criteria to reduce its involvement? How long are the contracts?
