I propose to take Questions Nos. 35 and 48 together.

The Central Bank of Ireland is the competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. My officials have consulted the Central Bank and they indicated by way of response that the law is clear on the matter. The Central Bank has to approve a prospectus for the offer of securities to the public where it meets the required standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency. The Central Bank also point out that the law is clear that approval should not be considered an endorsement of the issuer or of the securities.
