Finance committee  My third recommendation is that the possibilities should be studied. The French say €10,000, which is how much, $2,000?

Finance committee  How many artworks?

Finance committee  That depends on what they buy.

Finance committee  How much should be lent?

Finance committee  I'm going to ask my expert on that question, Mr. Labossière, to answer you.
