It is a work in progress. Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis attended a European Financial Forum, EFF, a number of weeks ago. I think he was in here the following day. He outlined that it is something the Commission is progressing. It is a slow burner. Not everybody is in agreement - there is protectionism within the EU 27. We would like it to progress. We do not know where it will land. We have to be careful on the basis that while there are some benefits, there might be other disadvantages. We should ensure that we do what is best for the Irish jurisdiction, including domestic users.
