Mr. Fabien Santini:

There is only one Commission, but we have procedures. The Commission depends on the powers the treaty gave to it, or to the co-legislators, the Council and the Parliament, which decided to give further powers to the Commission. In these kinds of matters we are discussing, I would not know what to include in my submission, dated last Friday, if I did not talk to my colleagues this afternoon to be sure I had the most recent information for the committee. I would not know that nobody asked for suspension of duties in the Directorate General for Taxation and Customs, DG TAXUD, if I did not ask them, as I do every week, in fact, when checking something. We are a single Commission but we have to respect procedures. The procedures are given to us by the treaty, but the Commission decides according to the duties given to it as competencies.
