Regarding the Commission's proposals, I understand it is assuming that the common consolidated corporate tax base, CCCTB, will come into effect and that it is factoring in certain resources or revenue from the introduction of the CCCTB, which the Government continues to oppose. Could the Minister give us the Government's position on that? Why would the Commission be bringing forward proposals that include revenue that is the subject of unanimous decision-making within the European Union where there are clear indications that such unanimity does not exist?
