That's the first one.

Question: Lars Heindorff - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. And then on the contract side, have there been any change in the behavior of your customers when you engage in contract negotiations? And the reason why I asked is that we're hearing from many other carriers that they now have at least a larger share of contracts, which are index linked and not at least in the beginning of the period, contract period relatively fixed rates. Any views on that?

Question: Lars Heindorff - Nordea Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. And then last 1 on the speed. I mean, are you slowing down as many other carriers are in terms of average (inaudible) adding more business to loops in order to keep the savings schedule?
