Mr. Tony Murphy:

It is very topical. There were some teething problems with the whole procedure. Like the migration issue we discussed earlier, it was done in a crisis situation. It was not normal. It showed one of the benefits of the EU in that there was a co-ordinated approach to the procurement of vaccines, which was probably much more effective and efficient than if each member state had gone on its own. It is one of the benefits that should perhaps be heralded more. These benefits show that beyond whether a member state is a net contributor, there are all sorts of issues that are beneficial to member states by being part of the club, if one wants to call it that.
