I want to discuss the Commission's expansionary fiscal stance. People in this State would have read the headlines, namely, that the Commission has done a turnaround, austerity is over and now it is all about expansion, which will affect this country. Regarding the Commission's statement on an expansionary fiscal stance two weeks ago, will Mr. Martínez Mongay confirm that it will have no impact on Ireland's stance, that we will still have the same amount of fiscal space next year, that this will be the total amount, and that the Commission's position does not allow us to go beyond that?
