It is all worthwhile information. On the question of which issues are people most concerned about at an EU level, how exactly was this framed? There is the cost-of-living question in the poll, which is straightforward: nobody was saying there is too much money. As for the migration question, one could possibly argue that someone might have an issue that the European Union has become overly robust but I would say that is not the issue for most people. The response to the question on the Russia-Ukraine conflict could probably fall into a number of things in relation to the European Union: the people who believe it has not been sufficiently forceful against Russia; whether they believe they would still be happy enough to have certain aspects; and whether people have a particular issue on the associated migration. I am just wondering. It is probably the case there is a possibility of follow-up questions on that question. How exactly was that done? Was that a checklist or was it on the basis of the information they provided?
