I put a question to Commissioner Vestager this week that, on the basis of Tim Cook's statement in August, it was quite clear that the company sought an opinion from Revenue, which it took and applied, as it saw it, correctly and legally. On the basis that Apple sought and applied that opinion and given the retrospective nature of the decision of the Commission, subsequent to losing the argument in the European Court of Justice, ECJ, is it possible Apple could take a case against the State on the basis of the information received, when adjudicated on by the ECJ, being incorrect?
