Wie kommst du darauf dass beim ARP etwas gestoppt ist? Nur weil vielleicht die Rückkäufe sich nicht an der Charttechnik orientieren? Ich hatte dazu im conference call was gelesen. Nachstehend das Zitat. Nach dieser Aussage des CFO glaube ich nicht dass hier was ausgesetzt wird.
And the next question comes from Geoff Haire calling from UBS London. Please state your name, your company name followed by your question. Geoffrey Haire Just on the buyback, at the rate you’re going, the buyback could be finished by the end of this year. Is that a reasonable assumption to make? And what can we expect once that’s done, if you do get it done quicker than the mid-2019 target? Thomas Toepfer Well on the buyback, I think you’ve seen that we were well underway. We will very soon finish the second tranche of the buyback. And then, I think nobody should be surprised if relatively quickly we then embark on a third tranche of the buyback. However, that does not change the overall frame and that is we want to do up to EUR 1.5 billion or 10%, whatever is reached earlier and the timeframe of that is up to middle of 2019. So I think that does not change.
