". – The questions which have been put to me just now are twofold. The first question is rather of a meteorological nature. It would be absurd to deny that it is raining outside. Whether that is tantamount to stating that the summer has ended would perhaps be premature. I have been reliably informed that summers usually end about 21 September and the Commission is still striving to meet a deadline, although I must admit that the case is of such complexity that it will need a thorough investigation by not only the MARKT directorate-general but also by other parts of the Commission. It may not be possible to meet that deadline exactly, but the Member who has just spoken can count on my personal endeavour to adhere to it as closely as possible, since the Commission ought to take a decision one way or another as soon as possible.
Concerning the second question that was put to me, the Commission has taken cognisance of the most unfortunate failures of the two insurance undertakings that were mentioned. The Member will appreciate that Lloyd's is a unique case. There is no other organisation in the world like it. I would therefore hesitate to create the impression that what happened to the insurance undertakings to which reference was made is of any particular relevance to the case of Lloyd's. My service is looking at the failures of the other two insurance companies. Naturally one is interested. I have tried to follow it in the press although I do not know whether the press reports are exhaustive. The people who help me in insurance undertakings have also taken a close interest, but may I assure the Member that we are fully stretched in looking at the Lloyd's case itself."@en1
