Mr. Dave Hanley:

I think such a decision might come out in the Council's conclusions this weekend. However, discussions at working group level are scheduled for next week and a high-level group meeting, which Ms Licken and her colleagues attend, is due to take place in Brussels next Wednesday. One of the problems here is that there have been no really meaningful discussions at Council level on any of this yet. As Ms Licken said earlier, this was only published in the middle of September. There had been rumours and hints about it over the summer but it only came out in detail in September. There has not been much discussion at Council level yet on the detail of this. That will kick off next week.
