I thank both the witnesses for their very enlightening opening remarks. I want to drill down on two areas, one a bit more parochial than the first. Ms Boix Alonso alluded to the first one, which relates to working with partners throughout the world. Cybersecurity strategy includes a programme of action in the UN. What form has that engagement taken? Where is the discussion at? What sorts of insights are there for enhanced engagement?

My second issue is a bit more practical and relates to the cyber resilience Act planned for late next year. I understand the purpose of the legislation is to introduce common cybersecurity standards for connected devices. How will it address any gaps left by the Council's and Parliament's NIS 2 proposals? Will it come soon enough to address these gaps?
