This pass added: Table 26 total value of properties purchased, printed "€11,399,00.00" (recorded as the literal digits EUR 1,139,900.00, unit basis guessed, note giving both readings; EUR 11,399,000 matches the row's parts); GCES agents' performance (26 agents; the busiest with 15 approved and 1 withdrawn, the next with 7 and 1 rejected; 4 with none approved), 1 application closed on death, FIAU 9, 2 GCES complaints, donation detail (one recipient 17%; entities with 19 and 10 donations; combined EUR 1,145,624.85 on p. 68); IIP agents' performance (25 agents as printed; 1 with 38%; 14 with one application; 9 all approved; 13 none), 2 dependants' oath gaps, review requests (0, 71, 1 pending), 86% of the cap, recipient shares (74% of 2023 IIP donations; cumulative 25%, 0.0016%, 0.25%); restated rules for both schemes (as in 2022 plus police certificates for 6 months in 10 years and the EUR 27.50 card fee). Out of scope: merit route (fee EUR 19,010, 8 months residence, 6-month oath), parliamentary questions, court sittings, recipient percentages already handled.
