I refer to the reply to Question No. 520 of 8 February 2005. As that reply stated, an open tender competition was undertaken for the procurement of each item of the ancillary equipment. These contracts were for the provision of specific equipment and the question of renewal does not arise. The value of the contracts is set out in the following table:

Ancillary equipment Total value of contract
â'¬
Customised tilt tables for voting machines, for access by disabled voters 382,525
Transport trolleys for voting machines 398,173
Hand trucks for voting machines 38,412
Back-up batteries for voting machines 70,567
Storage cases for ballot modules and programme reading units 67,033
