Certainly, in small and medium sized member states of the European Union, there is a really good understanding of the case we are putting forward. Solidarity tends to be in relatively short supply in the context of foreign direct investment and of investment that can build tax revenues within the jurisdiction of each country. On the case we are making for small and medium sized countries also having the expectation of being able to be competitive, and on the right to determine an economic model within certain parameters that contributes to our competitiveness, many other countries share a similar view. It will be up to us to work with them to make the case the Deputy and I are discussing.
