Above all, it seems to me that Yorkshire Water is responding to the Crisis in a Way That is still reflective of a nationalised industry.

For those reasons, the framework of the European Union is helping us to solve the Crisis in a Way That would not happen if we were dealing with the 14 different nations individually.

The United States has stay-on assets for companies in extreme cash-flow difficulties and it is possible for management to remain in decision-making positions and to manage a Crisis in a Way That is not possible here.

They are bearing the brunt of the Crisis in a Way That does not correspond to their responsibility for it.

It is difficult to believe that something that they do as a result of late-night meetings will suddenly resolve the world financial Crisis in a Way That cannot be achieved with up to 28 days - or possibly, if it is just before the Summer Recess, three or four months - of consideration for Parliament to come back and approve it.

If we escalated militarily, we would also undoubtedly intensify the humanitarian Crisis in a Way That would conflict with one of the recommendations of Lord Ashdown's recent "Humanitarian Emergency Response Review".
