Good morning, Pietro Guastamache from Euractiv.

Actually, whether my question is related to foreign affairs very much depend on your answer, so I'm not entirely sure what will you say, but,

over the weekend, there was a conference in Ventotene on the island of Ventotene in Italy, and that was, sponsored by the European Commission.

And on Thursday after the Taiwanese Vice Premier announced a surprise visit,

we have seen messages that prove that the European Commission decided to withdraw the logo and instructed a Commission officer not to attend the conference.

I was wondering whether this is related to the presence of the Taiwanese vice Premier, or if there is any other explication for this decision. Thank you. Thank you for your question. Go ahead, Christian.

Yeah, what I can say on this is that the event was organized by the European Parliament's liaison office in Rome with indeed the financial contribution by the Commission's representation in Rome.

Democracy is an important topic for the Commission, which is often supporting events on this subject.

In the case of this conference in Italy, the social media communication on the event used the commission's logo without the Commission having seen or validated the content,

and as a consequence, they were withdrawn and adjusted.

Apart from that, yeah, I think that's, that should answer your question. Thank you, Christian. Follow up.

May I ask you to tell me whether the presence of the Taiwanese vice premier has something to do with this decision or he had nothing to do at all?

Look, there was a Well, I think This is, this is all I can say at this stage on this the presence of the official,

we do not comment on specific travel plans and engagement with members of the European Parliament. Yeah. Thank you, Christian. Other questions for Christian. Here's the back on time. Japanese public TV NHK.

To follow up on this question from the colleague, you just mentioned the content.

Is the Taiwanese presence part of this content, or could you please provide us with Thank you for your question, Antoine,

but as, as Christian pointed out,

this was an event organized by the European Parliament to which the Commission provided funding.

Christian has provided the answer to your questions on this, and we really don't have much more to say on it today.

Other questions on other foreign affairs topics for Christian, go ahead.
