I accept and recognise what the Minister is saying. That does not stop various ministers from all over the EU from jumping up and asking for a rebate or a reduction in VAT. There is no guarantee that that is going to happen. One thing that is sure and certain is that if the European Commission concedes to one minister, there would be a new regime all over Europe. That has to happen automatically. I will hold my counsel and wait to see it happen.
