This is part of the process into which Ireland entered with the OECD. It is important that we meet the standards set by the OECD and that we encourage the other OECD member states, which include many more countries than are in the EU, to produce transnational reports on companies that operate across a number of jurisdictions. It is important that such information be published. In some cases, when the structure is first being established, it may take time. However, it should not take too much time to make the information available. The publication of such information would make for a much better decision-making framework.
