This is part of the ECOFIN debate. Countries across Europe in the eurozone, which are now seeking monetary union and so forth, must address these problems. As recently as last Friday, the German constitutional court said that the actions and operations of the ECB in its OMT operations are unconstitutional from the German point of view. That affects all financial legislation going through this House. We are inclined to bury it, but we should be addressing it. It should be at the top of the agenda.
