Dr. Sonia Piedrafita:

Ireland was sending some of them. It was not on the top, but that does not mean anything. What matters is the quality of the scrutiny and because my previous post-doctoral research was on Ireland and Spain, I therefore know quite a lot about it. Ireland goes into the detail of those proposals it finds interesting for Ireland, and it calls on members of the Government to get into this custom. It generates debate. It is not that important if it does not find there is a breach with the subsidiarity principle. It does or does not send a reasoned opinion to the Commission.
