I have a question on the surrogacy issue. Different countries have different regulations. There is not any proposal at this stage, from a European point of view, to have a common set of rules across Europe. Are there any discussions at European level on that issue?
It refers back to my earlier question about people travelling abroad. The number of people travelling abroad is far higher than figures indicate. In bringing in new legislation such as this, it is an issue that we need to look at.
