On that point when the European Commission was here I put to it the prospect of setting up a pan-European revenue collecting authority to manage the day to day collection of taxes and adjudicate to an extent over differences. It was clear in saying that it would not set one up. It is very difficult to see how this would work without a basic authority to collect the taxes. Would Ms O'Brien agree with that?
