Did the Commission specify the provenance of its inquiries? Were they a result of a complaint lodged by another member state, for example? Mr Tobin inferred it is not surprising that, given the media coverage of the issues in recent months, the Commission would seek such information. Does he think that the request is linked directly to the hearings in the United States, for example? Is it because of correspondence that might have been sent to the Commission or is that not clear from the correspondence?
