If the Minister of State does not have the relevant material, he might revert to me on the following. I recall meeting chairmen of other foreign affairs and defence committees at a parliamentary forum organised by the Presidency of the EU. Some small member states, which, like us, take great pride in their neutrality, suggested that smaller member states like ours should be involved in cybersecurity projects at EU level.

Trying to counteract cyber terrorism is a significant problem for the international community, one that knows no boundaries. As we all realise, we can all easily become victims of it. If we are not participating in it, perhaps it is the type of area in which we should be interested in becoming involved, particularly as a small member state with a strong attachment to its policy of neutrality. Will the Minister of State come back to us on the matter if the information is not readily available?
