Can I ask Mr. Zuijdendorp why does he come before the committee - and I am sorry if I sound a bit hostile - and make a statement such as this, which is a blatant attempt to pull the wool over politicians' eyes by saying, "We are not going to touch your rates", knowing well that one of the rates has to go if this proposal comes in to effect. It is not right and it treats this committee and the people who attend the committee with disrespect. Mr. Zuijdendorp should have come to the committee to say that he wanted to make it clear that if the CCCTB is accepted by all the member states then one of the existing rates for corporations in this State will no longer apply. Is that the accurate version of what he attempted to say earlier?
