Ms Emily O'Reilly:

Obviously we may get complaints or freedom of information requests for access to documents relating to that which we will deal with but we would not look at what member states did unless there was EU administration involvement. In the event that we did decide to look at that - although this is not something I am contemplating at the moment - it would have to meet the three criteria for initiating any investigation. One is that it is in the public interest and clearly, something like that would fit into that category; two, that it is doable, that we would get a result and that we would not be over-promising; and three, that we are not doubling up on investigations that are being done elsewhere. If a committee of parliament, for example, or some other agency was doing an investigation that was likely to yield as good as, or better, an outcome as us, then we would not do it. As I said already, the pace of events is significant. We continue to look at the EMA and it is possible that in time we will look at the procurement process, particularly if complaints come in. However, I must emphasise that we would not be looking at member state actions but at the actions of the EMA.
