I thank Dr. Ehnts. I will begin with my own questions initially. I wonder about the origin of the fiscal rules and how they came about. There is the 3% debt-to-GDP rule and the 60% public debt level rule. I wonder if those figures are supported by any evidence. If not, why were those particular figures chosen? What are their implications for economic stability and development?
