Okay. I would disagree with that.

We have the SAFE regulation that has not gone through the EU Parliament or the Dáil. That means EU battle groups are not accountable to the EU Parliament or the courts, I think. How does that align to sustainable development goal 16, which, for those who might not know, is providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions on all levels? I worry that the fact that those regulations have not gone through those two institutions decreases our accountability. That is a question for both witnesses.
