mr. richie.f we put these other two criteria in the commissioner moran is suggesting in his comments, what would be the time line of rechanging the formula? >> they're ready to do. those are not hard changes. there may be consternation where they want the us to project out this we'd have to say we're not going to do that because there's a policy in place with a progress -- projection but it's different and what they have to do in term of rationing. we have a number of wholesale customers anxiously awaiting to see what the p.u.c. does because they all have w.s.a.s which rely on the picture for the regional supply. they're all awaiting to see what the commission says. >> this is an assessment. this is not an approval of housing pieces and the work is of value for the commission. if you're waiting to get the report. >> technically the changes are easy to make and some people are uncomfortable they don't do anything else but that's the commission's purview is what this says. >> to understand the seco

mr. richie's future? elisa: this has been a recurring rumor. for more than a year that he may stay, may go. with the investment bank being the biggest business, it is critical to have leadership with the confidence of investment there's -- investors. it will be good for them to clarify once and for all if he is the man who will be leaving the unit. , when youpeter dixon look at italian yields and the ecb pushback on the debt idea, telling countries like italy to sort out their finances, is this the big risk that could hit europe in the next 60 wait months? peter: investors are looking -- six 28 months? ht months? peter: if you get the same kind of pushback from italy, that could start to cause fractures within the euro zone. the german fraction in the north once at to play by the rules. -- wants italy to play by the rules. if it does not, you will get political unrest, which will make life difficult for the next ecb president. francine: who do you think it will be? peter: i do not think weidmann. a lot of people think he is a runner. i think th
