I want to turn to paragraph 5.5, which is quite a long paragraph, if I remember, because its got a number of subsections. If I can find it myself. Yes, subsection (e) of your statement, you say that the legal consequences of a failure of a bank could have included the capacity of the ECB to seize the bank's collateral. Can you, maybe, briefly outline what that would have entailed?
