I turn to my second question. Would Mr. Shatter not accept the very fact that the EU is today constructing its ten options is an implicit and widening acceptance at EU level that something has to be done here? There is widening acceptance that there has to be an interference and a moral stance, and even a stance that puts commercial situations way behind morality and the lives of human beings.
