Can I ask a brief supplementary question? Regarding female genital mutilation, FGM, when the witnesses, or we as a State, campaign against that practice do we see it as a problem within Europe or are we conscious of the victims of FGM, some of whom we might have met, who came to live in countries in Europe? Are our consciences disturbed by what is happening in, say, Africa when we campaign or is it happening to substantial numbers of people within the European Union?
