Can it be avoided? Does the Department need to get approval? This is what I am trying to get at. Could the Department stay with the same thing and say to the guys in Brussels "This is working, so off with ye"? Would the Department be within its rights to do that? Is giving more money, or taking it in, a Government decision? With the measures that are there, does the Department have the right to continue it?
