I wish to ask about the Eastern Partnership in terms of Europe's energy needs that are met by the countries in question, for example, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea gas line and Ukraine. Disputed areas are the source of conflict in the region and can affect the Eastern Partnership, particularly given the fact that Lithuania will take the Presidency over from us. The partnership theme comprises a part of Lithuania's upcoming six-month programme.
