Text
First, I have met the new commissioner on a number of occasions. We have had at least one formal meeting, and I have no doubt that we will continue to meet on those issues. It is important and right that those standards, which will have to be approved by the First Minister and deputy First Minister, are applied in such a way that their application does not cause the frictions that we are talking about or lead to additional costs.
