Question 3: How big is the grey market in Germany?

Question

Hello All,

I was wondering why the market size in Question 3 is calculated as €3,050 M? I'm getting to the result €2,950 M (€900 M + €800 M + €200 M + €400 M + €300 M + €200 M + €150 M = €2,950 M).

Thanks for your support.

Kind regards,
Lukas
