I will be very brief. I do not think there will be a second round of questions. Given the human rights and other implications are why we are pulling away from Russian gas, and rightly so, there is a concern around the memorandum of understanding, MoU, that was signed with Israel and Egypt, which did not make clear that would not include gas from the occupied territories. I point to the importance of that. Will Ms Sikow-Magny comment on the approach the Commission is going to take in terms of the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty which the Parliament has supported?
