Thank you.

Yes, for refugee cases only, let's start at year 2000, for new proceedings. In the year 2000 there were 4,490. In 2001 there were 4,067. In 2002 there were 4,986 refugee cases started. In 2003 there were 8,857 new refugee cases started. In 2004 there were 9,104 cases, and I believe you have the statistics for 2005. Our current estimate for 2006, for the year end, will be 4,917. That's an estimate.
