I do not have time to quiz Mr. Zuijdendorp but I concur with almost all the speakers who all have expressed serious reservations, from an Irish perspective, about the proposals in their current form. As they require unanimity, they will require a great deal of change but I am not sure if that is possible. I can see many people in this room at least being willing to sign up to them. I thank the witnesses for being here this afternoon.
