Thank you. Dr. Buquicchio referred to the "margin of appreciation". What specifically does he mean by that, in respect of the judicial review? Is he saying that governments basically have a large degree of flexibility in the approach that they are taking and as long as they are not actually transgressing on civil liberties they can take a broader approach in these circumstances? I ask him to clarify what he means by "margin of appreciation".
