If the Commission is advising that it cannot publish until interested parties have an opportunity to redact or advise on redactions from the report, I cannot give the Deputy accurate information on elements of it by stripping out the information in response to questions. In general terms, the competition Commission insists that under state aid rules it is acting in accordance with law and not invading the competence under the treaties to the effect that tax matters are within the competence of the sovereigns in Europe.
