Yes. It is already the case. When the EU budget was agreed last month the Commissioners set out proposals both to provide increased support for humanitarian need – the Deputy must forgive me as I do not have the figure to hand – and also funding to combat antisemitism in civil society. I thought that was a very important reflection on the budget negotiations between the Council and the Parliament last month. I was very pleased to hear that stated so openly and proactively by the Commission at the outset of the negotiations. I think that answers the Deputy's question.
