The members will be aware that we tried to amalgamate two motions. The last bullet point covers Deputy Durkan's main point. The three of us have no problem in incorporating the note about Catherine Ashton; it is in the public arena and we are happy that it be added. I would have to think more deeply about changing our motion from noting the European Parliament's position to actually supporting the position. I would have reservations about that and I would need to think that one out more clearly.
