If I could go ... if I might go back please to the RTE radio interview. Just to check, on Tuesday, 16 November, Wolfgang Schäuble it is understood and reported that he has asked Mr. Lenihan to announce his application for aid after the meeting that had taken place that day and that Mr. Lenihan had said no, that he didn't want to be put ... he said "I wouldn't participate on that basis; my Government had the sovereign right to decide how it conducted these discussions." Then I understand from what the evidence you have given here today, that you had a phone call with Mr. Lenihan and you said he was cross, he didn't understand "why are they trying to rush me" and you said that you thought it was a good idea that he announce. Is that correct?
