Is there not a need for feedback because of what occurred here? We were signing off on the approval so the moneys could be borrowed and the loans made available. I know quite clearly Israel is saying the money is not being used for the war effort but at the same time it is being used to sustain the economy so the war effort can continue. What I am asking the Governor, therefore, is whether there is now a role for the Central Bank in going back at European level. Is there is a role for the central banks at European level in making the view known that they are being put in a very difficult position on this?
