Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will. The position as far as the Government is concerned about CCCTB is very clear; there is no ambiguity here. The CCCTB is a method of tax harmonisation by the back door. It is bad for Ireland and bad for Europe. I will not sit at the table of leadership at European Council meetings and not say anything when a paper tabled by the Commission on CCCTB is being discussed. It is its right, legal duty and responsibility to publish papers or legislation, but I will not sit at the table and say nothing about this. What I will say is what I have just said to the Deputy. I do not believe in CCCTB and I do not support it. I have a very healthy scepticism about it. I hope I make myself clear in that regard.
