Thank you very much. That is a very important question. We have an excellent track record when it comes to the conversion of pledges and contributions.
At the last replenishment conference in New York, in 2010, we received pledges from governments in the order of $9.2 billion, and we are expecting, by the end of the year, $10.4 billion will have been paid, because a couple of countries, such as Sweden and the Netherlands, sat that time were not able to pledge. They had elections, but they have since paid, so we are expecting more in terms of payments, than what we received in pledges in 2010.
There were a couple of countries, like Spain and Italy, that did not pledge at that time. The economy was going so badly that they didn't even try to pledge, and they have not paid in this period of time. As I said, Italy is making every effort with the new government that they have now to come back. It's a G-8 country, and I think they will make a pledge.
In terms of those who pledged, some of them also over-fulfilled their pledge, but you're absolutely right, Canada has always been a role model in that sense, in really converting. Whatever you said, you put into practice, and you transferred. But I can say that applied to almost all the others as well, except for a few that didn't even dare to pledge because the economic situation was so bad.
