The last time I saw so many Scots gathered together was probably around the British Cabinet table, but I am not sure I would be brave enough to make that point back in London.
As regards the point raised by the honourable Member, it is a matter of which I have had some direct experience, having myself been the minister responsible for postal services in the United Kingdom when I was at the Department of Trade and Industry. At that time I was aware of exactly the kinds of concerns he raised. I can assure you that there is an awareness of these issues, not simply from a Presidency point of view but in the context of a Member State.
As regards the concrete steps to be taken on cooperation between national regulators, I reiterate the point I made in my earlier response. In terms of the application of the Postal Services Directive and in particular the report published by the Commission, the Commission strongly recommended that there should be intensified cooperation between national regulators, and that certainly has our full support. A balance has to be struck between the constructive oversight that the Commission can provide in this area of work and a greater involvement by national regulators themselves in what surely is of common interest to them, ensuring a level playing field."@en1
