Do other members wish to come in? If not, the only other thing that I see is the claims information up to the end of January of this year. The total value of substantiated claims and adjustments issued for determination is €554 million, which is a huge sum, but the employer’s representatives determined the claims and adjustments issued by the contractor and they have been put at a value of €19.9 million, less €5.5 million because there is an adjustment with the other figure. It would seem the ones that have been settled are the easier ones and the concern is that the 159 cases that are left are the sticky ones. It is proposed to note and publish the item. Is everybody happy with that?
