I can only give you my opinion. The OECD would know. I don't know that every country is dealing with it in exactly the same manner, but I'm told there's an effort at that committee, at the OECD, the committee on fiscal affairs, to establish approaches they all agree upon.
I think the whistleblower is important for psychological reasons, even though the governments in question.... The Swiss authorities are trying to prosecute because he broke bank secrecy rules in Switzerland. I think many people who might have funds in these offshore jurisdictions, who have always thought they were safe and that bank secrecy would protect them, woke up one morning to find that they might be subject to exposure through a whistleblower. This is in Switzerland, in this case, which is a place of high repute, very high banking standards and so on. This is only my opinion, but I think the fallout from that has probably been very positive in pushing people to make voluntary disclosures, because they say, “If I don't make a voluntary disclosure, maybe a whistleblower will nail me. Maybe I'm on that list. Maybe the authorities already know about me.” That is the kind of thing that I think has been important.
I don't know how all the countries are dealing with it. On the last one I read, the one about HSBC, there were something like 7,000 French names on that list, and I don't know how the French authorities are dealing with it, but I do know, from the reports, that very few of those names have actually disclosed their holdings or this income to the French authorities.
Some people are anti-whistleblowing. Some are in favour of it. If you ask my opinion, I think it's had that effect in this instance.
