Thanks. There are a few acronyms in Mr. Clarken's written submission and this is a new committee. I know BEPS is about tax avoidance but will Mr. Clarken elaborate on that? The submission states, "Ireland should urge the European Union, and use all their resources available as a member state, to push for European ODA (mostly financed through the NDCI instrument)...". Will Mr. Clarken say a little more about that?
