That doesn't mean there were only 656 cases. Lots of cases are settled before going to court, further to directives from our officers, settlements and warnings. It doesn't give any idea of the order of magnitude concerning the number of cases that were processed. These are simply the ones that resulted in prosecutions. I'd say that this is a small proportion of the total cases handled by enforcement officers in recent years.
