I thank Mr. Saint-Amans for that answer. My final question is to ask him to clarify his core objective with the report. Is it to get multinational companies to pay more tax globally on an overall aggregate basis or to redistribute where corporation tax is paid, depending on where the profits are finally residing? How confident is Mr. Saint-Amans that he will achieve progress in the timeline he has set out given that he is dealing with approximately 40 separate jurisdictions, all of which will be motivated, understandably, by their national self-interest?
