Mr. Gerry Kiely:
It is the same thing. Two decision are needed. First a decision needs to be made to allow decisions on taxation to be taken by qualified majority. Essentially, when unanimity applies a government still has a veto as it has to give its approval. It could involve deciding to move on individual issues rather than the whole sector.
