I have a question about Tunisia.
We heard the Tunisian President Saeed said many times that it's time to review the EU Tunisian Association Agreement,
but did you receive an official request from Tunisia to start such a negotiation? Thank you, I'm looking at the team. We had had Anouar on the podium.
Anouar is looking into it and will get back to you after the meeting with your understanding. Thank you. Other questions for us today?
No, then we thank you very much for your participation and wish you a very good afternoon.
