To a certain extent, it would be an attack on some elements of our economic model. One of the things that struck me about Dr. Regan's evidence was that the Franco-German strategic alliance is seeking even further integration.

Dr. Regan mentioned budgetary offices and so forth. There is a strong feeling throughout Europe that the EU is already over-reaching and that this has led to the British choosing to leave. In many ways, the push towards EU harmonisation is the cause of EU break-up. Would it be possible to operate the CCCTB in a two-speed Europe in which core countries would go one direction and some of the peripheral countries would remain outside it? I imagine that would still have an economic affect?
