Thank you Ines :-)
agree Virginia Asensio : Lo mejor sería "alrededor de", porque si bien la RAE dice que "al rededor de" es correcto, aclara que es poco usado. http://dle.rae.es/?w=alrededor&o=h

agree Charles Davis : "Alrededor de" or "unos"; "ca." doesn't go so well here, IMHO, but that is what it means, of course (more often c. in English and ca. in Spanish). (The figures must be wrong, BTW; they can't have spent 45 million of a total of 38 million!) Saludos ;-)
