The devil will be in the detail in that regard.

Again, Mr. Moscovici will forgive us because as late as today we see in respect of the rate of inflation in Germany what may need to be done in adjusting quantitative easing within the European project. We are looking at how it will impact on us in terms of interest rates and so on.

Which of the following options does Mr. Moscovici see as realistic if Britain leaves the customs union? Does he envisage a customs post on the Irish Border or no customs posts in Ireland but customs posts on the island of Britain, or a customs border between the European mainland and the islands of Britain and Ireland? Does Mr. Moscovici have a preferred option?
