I welcome the witnesses. I acknowledge their extraordinary work in recent months and years, especially in the response to both Covid and the Ukrainian crisis. Their ongoing efforts and development are much appreciated.
I will start by focusing on non-compliant procurement. I refer to the €31 million allocated to 25 local employment services that were deemed non-compliant procurement. Of those, 24 were EmployAbility Services and there were also 40 job clubs services. Have the issues that gave rise to the cases of non-compliance in 2021 been rectified?
