I tilfældet med Erika betyder dette tilsyneladende, at kun to tredjedele af ofrenes tab dækkes, og dette over en meget lang tidsramme, selv om der findes foreløbige udbetalinger.
As an example, the estimates for the Erika suggest that only two thirds of the amounts claimed by the victims can be reimbursed and that this process will take far too long, even if provisional amounts payments are made in the interim.
