I might ask the witnesses a few questions.

The budget is obviously a very pertinent issue and Mr. Crowley mentioned a figure of €18.2 billion in respect of the MFF. I am conscious he has said there is never enough money and there will never be enough money. The figure of €18.2 billion is the bare minimum. What would he be asking for as something that might meet what is needed in real terms? Would it be that figure or would it be higher?
