I would thank the Commissioner for that answer. I should, however, like just one thing to be clarified in this connection. I interpret the answer as saying that the Commission cannot accept, or considers incompatible with membership of the third stage of EMU, a situation in which large funds are transferred from the Swedish Central Bank’s profits to the Swedish Treasury, as has been done by the Swedish Government. We are talking here about a total of SEK 40 billion over two years. I would ask you to confirm that this is a correct interpretation of what you have just said.
