Good afternoon and welcome to our midday briefing. Today is Tuesday, the 28th of July.
We do not have particular announcements for you today.
Just as you may have seen,
we are organizing a visit for accredited journalists to the EU's Emergency Response Coordination Center.
We sent the details via email this morning to all accredited journalists.
For those who are interested, we invite you to write to the email that we have provided in the media advisory.
Just please note that there is a maximum capacity and spots will be allocated on a first come,
first served basis.
With that, we are ready to take your questions. Let's go there.
