For Olof on the India trade deal.

Can you tell us which languages it's being sent to the Council in? Thank you. Hi Andy, thank you for your question.

It is being sent in English only with other languages to follow at a later stage.

Sorry, just a follow up, so you would expect the Council to start work on it in English only, and then,

if they do any revisions, they will be incorporated into the, into the texts in different languages afterwards.

Look, we've discussed this topic before from the podium.

When President von der Leyen went to India in January to conclude negotiations for this landmark trade agreement,

she made a commitment to try to get it over the line within this calendar year.

That is still our ambition, and you have heard Commissioner Šefčovič say many times that the process from Conclusion of political negotiations to entry into force of our trade negotiations can and should be speeded up because we need those deals,

we need the economic benefits they bring.

We need the partnerships they forge with trusted partners around the world.

And so in this case what we are proposing to do is the agreement will be signed in the language of negotiations,

i.e. English.

And all EU language versions will become available as soon as possible during the process and certainly before the agreement will be voted in the European Parliament,

so the intention is also to publish in the Official Journal when we get to that stage in all EU languages.

As as required, right, good. Other questions to Olof, Philip.
