Mr. Robert Watt:

There is a debate taking place at present in the context of the Italian budget which is not dissimilar. The Italian authorities are increasing their deficit beyond what they had previously committed to. This is partly due to revenue shortfalls, but it is also due to spending additional money above what the previous Government in Italy was committed to doing. That will be discussed at Council level.
