I would like to hear the Minister of State's understanding of what recommendation 6 says because I have heard different interpretations of it. Is it that a collective redundancy could only become a burden on an insolvency fund or whatever we call it in a case where the company has broken the law in respect of consultation or is this an open-ended scheme? Does it require the company to have failed in its obligations or is it an open-ended proposal?
