When the chief executive of the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland, Mr. Brian Hayes, noted at the meeting that the approach being taken here was the same as across Europe and was in line with the rules the banks were obligated to follow, that was not necessarily true because as Mr. Makhlouf said, there are various approaches across Europe and indeed many jurisdictions did not charge interest during the payment break. Is that correct?
