A more transparent process is what Dr. Kennan is suggesting; it sounds kind of like a forum. Can we return quickly to her description of the health data space in the EU or Europe more generally? I am thinking of genetics because so many other countries are doing better in that regard. I have a particular interest in that area. We have talked a lot this morning about sharing information between institutions, how we do that safely and comprehensively. Are we starting to see a space in Europe where countries are sharing specific data in real time in the longer term, in terms of research? How would we go about facilitating that? Do we believe we need different or additional legislation to make that happen?
