Yes, thanks again, Olof.
Now when Marcos is on the podium, I will ask another question, not about Hungary, of course,
but it is about yesterday's decision by the Commission on adopting and implementing the European Citizens' Initiative on granting more access to abortion rights for all women in Europe,
and the decision was, as you know, didn't require any legislation.
Just allowing those countries who are interested in it to use funding under the European Social Fund.
So that was a very smart solution, I think, and that brings me to my question, Markus,
because we asked before you about whether Some solutions can be imagined when it comes to reconciling,
let's say.
The national competency when it comes to health issues with fundamental rights.
In this case, you know, freedom of religion for religious communities,
both Muslim and Jewish communities, in carrying out circumcision. Of male infants. According to that condition, by their own. Trained practitioners.
So my question is, if you see this decision.
The Commission yesterday a kind of precedent for not similar but let us say a solution in the same way in this other issue. Mussa, thank you for your question.
First of all, it's a question for Eva, not for Marcos.
Second of all, you're asking about hypotheticals, and we're not going there.
So, I therefore reopen the floor for questions to Mariya Gabriel.
