I want to go back over some ground. My colleague mentioned the Lisbon treaty and Article 48.7. This article does not involve enhanced co-operation; it involves qualified majority voting where unanimity can be achieved in the Council to allow it to move to a proposal in terms of qualified majority voting. I know Mr. Lamassoure answered in terms of enhanced co-operation and the number of states going ahead with this proposal and that is important information. With regard to qualified majority voting, President Juncker has suggested that we need to move a number of tax issues on and basically use a different method of voting, which meant that countries would not have a veto. What are Mr. Lamassoure and Mr. Tang's views on that proposal?
