But if you look at 2004/2005, 2005/2006 and 2006/2007, you can see that in 2006/2007, the commission is lower than in 2004/2005, yet the quantities which were lifted were higher than in 2004/2005. Also, the price of crude oil was also higher in 2006/2007, yet the commission is lower. So, the Assistant Minister should explain. Secondly, could he confirm or deny that he has offered the tenders to a company which was offering a lower price than the highest bidder? Could he also undertake to come and table before this House the details of the tender analysis as they were? I know that there were a lot of shady deals in this thing."}
