I will make a final point on the section, if the Deputy is moving on. The Deputy has said there is a view by many that this is seen as a missed opportunity. Those views may well be expressed but in my other role as president of the Eurogroup, I played a role in brokering this agreement. All of the governments that are in the Eurogroup have signed up to this. All of them have. If a view is expressed that this is a missed opportunity, it is not a view that is being expressed by the finance ministers who are representing the countries referred to by the Deputy.
