On the sovereignty issue, the departmental officials cited legal questions they have on the legal basis for it. We gather their particular concern is around the fact that it would be the first time the EU has set a specific rate of tax being the 3% rate. I acknowledge that VAT is set within a certain range but have the witnesses concerns about EU interference and involvement in our tax policy and that this might be the beginning of much more than that?
