Mr. Murphy has very conveniently mentioned the RRF, which is the subject of my next question. I have recently been at a couple of European conferences about RRF. Since it was established, the situation has changed greatly and the response we are seeing now from member states directly to the Commission is a desire for flexibility and a need for change. This will obviously create huge difficulties and problems for how to audit this process. What level of work is the court preparing for? What is the court putting across as to what is needed from its point of view to ensure that if the Commission is going into the realm of flexibility, it is still fit for purpose to be audited and to make sure it is done correctly?
