It seems unusual that we are talking about the credit unions today and their representative body is not here. I just wanted to make that observation.

The witnesses said that 50% of credit unions have assets of less than €20 million and that such credit unions face a difficult challenge if they are to continue with their existing business model. What are the views of the witnesses on the future for credit unions?
