I thank the Minister of State, and apologies if I repeat some of the questions that were asked. I wish to go back to the Commission and President von der Leyen effectively appointing herself as spokesperson for Europe. I do not think that was ever what was envisaged for that role, and she is clearly partisan in her position. Other people have mentioned different things but has the Government ever raised this issue with the Commission or the Council?
