I thank Ms O'Reilly for her very interesting presentation. She is doing important work. She is critical of the Council, probably rightly. How has she found the Commission and other bodies? Which of them occupy more of her time or which are slightly more difficult to deal with? Is there a culture of cover-up, although I hesitate to use that term? They do not wish to release information. Perhaps it is natural or is human nature when certain select bodies get together, especially Mario Draghi has not formally reacted yet but I would be very interested to know if Ms O'Reilly has had any feedback on that recommendation.
