I will ask one brief supplementary question. I know we are coming towards the end of the meeting. I spoke at a seminar this week on media plurality and media freedom. One of the issues that came up as a real concern was the potential for external actors, including state actors, to interfere with the next European elections. I am interested in what the Minister of State has to say on this. He may not be prepared for this question now, but is it a matter on which there is a focus? Are mechanisms and processes in train to protect the integrity of the upcoming European elections?
