Would the Commissioner agree that in terms of the model of tax competition, and this goes beyond the question of the CCCTB, which the Irish Government at times advocates - it is part of what is described as an industrial policy but in reality it is a policy of tax competition - the space for that policy is dramatically restrained by two events, namely, the prospect of a so-called bargain basement Brexit by Britain under the Tory Government and President Trump's corporate tax proposals? Would he agree that those events limit the space to continue with that model?
