When we were in Paris, we found that the French were very much in favour of having an insurance-type scheme. Would this be a pot of money that would be taken away and might never come back? Insurance is something that one pays but from which one may never benefit. Would it be the same idea with a percentage being taken from the money for pillar 2 measures and being put away for an insurance-type scheme from which one might never gain an advantage?
