Hi, Kem from AFP. It's actually about the Eurobarometer.

I was going through it and I saw that the number of people who have a negative opinion of the United States has risen sharply,

up by 14%.

I was just wondering how do you explain that? Thanks.

I'm afraid that's not the the the purpose of the Eurobarometer.

The Eurobarometer takes a snapshot of the perception that citizens have,

of course, based on surveys on a number of elements.

The explanation of this would have to be asked to, to the citizens, you know, that the US is an important partner for us,

and we work with them constructively on all the topics of common interest we have with them. Other questions on the Eurobarometer.

Let's stay focused on that for the time being. David, I think it's you. David Price.

Democracy and Schuman,

the Eurobarometer says that only 1 in 2 of European citizens have trust in the European institutions. So I had I have two questions.

Basically, one question from last week which I did not get an answer to in the discussions with the European Parliament and the agreement which was made,

was there any discussion or movement forward about how the European Parliament should be elected on the basis of one person,

one vote.

The second question is related to that I would be grateful if you could explain to me how the posters which are outside on the The Berlaymont,

which say democracy, how do these slogans get decided?

Who decides them and what sort of committee decides on what slogans are put on these panels?

Some of them are a bit bizarre in the past, so I'd like to know how the system works. So, let's take it from the start.

The Eurobarometer indeed has an element on trust in the European Union.

It says that indeed 51% of citizens have trust in the European Union,

which is actually 3% points higher than in the latest survey of, of the autumn.

You have also the details per member state if, if you're interested.

Of course, we work day in and day out to increase the trust that European citizens have in the European institutions, especially for what the Commission is concerned.

For your question on the framework agreement with the Parliament, that is,

an agreement that has been signed to improve the working relationships we have with the Parliament.

I am not aware if specifically this aspect was discussed.

I don't think so, but, if, we have, a confirmation in the sense,

my colleagues that follow interinstitutional relations will, We, add eventually bilaterally.

For what concerns the posters, this is part of our democracy campaign.

We had announcements, here in the press room, and my colleague Markus can eventually tell you more if, if needed.

And, this is part of an internal reflection to identify the messages that we want to promote in,

in this context.

So it is internal, processes within, within the, the, the Commission, and I think this answers all.

If no other questions on the Eurobarometer, we can change topic.

I see Vincenzo Genovese from remote, and then I'll come back to the press room. Nick and Chander noted.
