Mr. Peter Evans:

The EU state aid rules, which Mr. O'Dwyer mentioned, are published by the European Commission. The Commission was very clear and it said the MANs must not be run and operated by a telecoms operator because Europe saw that there would be a conflict of interest. If one is a telecoms operator and one is managing the MANs, there was a perception of an incentive to distort competition in that way. They wanted a company to come in and just run the MANs. We were a telecoms operator at the time so we were excluded from that process.
