Mr. Andrew McDowell:

Once a member of the board has been appointed, his or her obligation is to the health bank. However, board members frequently come from national governments where they are civil servants and it is politically self-evident that on issues like this, they represent the views of their member states. We expect, certainly on an issue like this, that if our board of directors approves a change in our eligibility criteria, which is a matter for it, that will reflect the views of member states themselves.
