For 2023, we could end up with a deficit of between €1.4 billion and €1.5 billion, as Mr. Gloster has said. If we were to achieve all of the savings and efficiencies about which the Secretary General spoke and which may be put in place for next year, and also taking into account what has been put in place for this year, even if we were to achieve the top end of that, it would not deal with the deficit.
