I thank the Ombudsman. We have a letter from Mr. Maroš Šefovi, Vice President of the European Commission, in which he points out that while the Commission considered the Peru and Colombia agreements to be EU-only agreements, the Council designated them as mixed agreements. Mr. Šefovi further notes that it is likely the Council will also consider the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, as a mixed agreement. That is what he is telling national parliaments and we all hope it will be the case.
