I agree with the Minister that the body would have the competencies required. My question is, given that the body is now the point of contact and for that reason additional work will potentially arise, in particular in terms of employing its competencies and extending them to issues related to freedom of movement, there may be a requirement for additional resources. I am concerned not that the body will not have the competencies but that this additional function may result in additional work for the commission, such that it will require additional resources. Does the Minister accept that?
