As it has not been mentioned, I will raise climate change and the European Green Deal that was announced by Ursula von der Leyen. Now that the UK has left the EU, is there much divergence between the UK and the EU in tackling the issue of climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions? Does the UK have a different approach now? I would appreciate if the ambassador would tell the committee where he thinks Britain is in that regard.
