I have a few questions. Deputy Howlin covered the point on the AU-Mercosur deal. Considering the troubling scenarios seen in both regions how have the recent geopolitical economic health and environmental challenges affected EU-LAC relations? What opportunities can be identified for this relationship? What do we need to do to seize those opportunities? How has the region dealt with concrete cases of political economic and humanitarian crises, such as that we saw in Venezuela when that economy collapsed and there was a political uprising leading to 6 million refugees leaving Venezuela? What is the impact of the agreement on human rights in the EU? What are the challenges around that? What has this agreement done in regard to addressing the social tensions and humanitarian crises endangering human rights? Does the new agreement include the exchange of students? Did I hear Deputy Burke say that earlier?
