Question: Yiwei Zhou - SEB, Research Division - Analyst
: And I have one on the -- you commented in the report that the revenue growth in Denmark was negatively impacted by the delay of start-off for
one specific project, and I think that's worth explaining, and also a high amount of tender writing. And could you please elaborate a bit on the high
amount of tender writing? Was it related to the initiatives you are taking in Norway, as you mentioned? Or is it due to the pipeline activities in
Denmark?
