What management said

So even though the regulatory framework stays the same, suddenly, it's applied in a different way. That's what I mean with the subjectivity.
I think that we need to be cautious. We need to be also prepared for -- as I write in the - it's a little bit of a cat and mouse game. And we methodically systematically work on the situation, as you can see, and we're very happy with the 2 quarters in a row where we grow, but we're just a little bit cautious in our communication.
