I thank Ms McVeigh for a very comprehensive statement. I propose the committee publishes this document on its website. We will designate ten minutes for the first group of questions and will finish with supplementary questions.

Mark Twain once said there are two certainties in life - death and taxes. The certainty of the FTT is the question for today. The last update we received in May indicated that 11 member states were looking to go ahead with this. Having listened to Ms McVeigh today, there seems to be some wavering in terms of that figure. Are 11 member states still looking to proceed?
