Mr. Tony Murphy:

For an auditor. Regarding the €196 billion, the MFF is the outcome of a series of difficult negotiations on a budget for the programme period. The money is set at a particular point in time and the Commission has objected. I agree with the Deputy that, owing to things that have happened during the tenure of this Commission, it has been asked to do much more on, for example, Ukraine, energy issues and the Covid response. There have been many issues that were not in the plan when the MFF was originally agreed.
