In the meantime, however, we must sort out this situation. Since January 2022, we have allocated more than €9.5 billion to households. I am not referring to businesses. The temporary business energy support scheme, TBESS, for businesses is additional. This €9.5 billion is a substantial intervention to try to help people to meet what undoubtedly are severe challenges with respect to electricity and other energy bills. We have intervened quite substantially and there will be further payments or energy credits in March and April in terms of lump sums.
