My apologies for being unable to connect earlier. I watched the Commissioner's presentation. First, I congratulate the Danish football team on how well they have performed in the Euros and how well they have represented their country at a particularly difficult time, given the events of last Saturday week. The team were a credit to everyone in Denmark and to the football community. I wish the team all the best in the round of the last 16.

The Commissioner touched on the issue of cybersecurity earlier. As she will be aware and as she mentioned, we suffered a serious cyberattack here recently. Does she feel that a pan-European approach needs to be taken to cybersecurity? There have been calls for heavy investment in our own cybersecurity. Is it something that needs to be done at European level, covering the whole Union? Perhaps the Commissioner can speak more to that issue. As we know, and as she has mentioned, the more dependent we become on digital, the more vulnerable we become. We are small country of 4.5 million people, like the Commissioner's own country. For a small country, it is a heavy burden to try to protect our digital space. Perhaps it is something that requires a common European approach. I ask the Commissioner for her wider views on that issue.
