Speaker 1
It is adopted. And I will now pass the floor to the Senate chair, Miss Agnes Szak Zimmerman, for the chair's announcements.

Thank you very much. Please, colleagues, take a seat in the last row. Hello. Please take a seat. Okay.
So just a minute. Give me the hammer. Please, could you take a seat also in the last row, please? So it's really easy, and there are enough chairs. So, but there's only one seated chair, and I'm starting now.

Thank you, Boris. I'm also informing colleagues that today's meeting is web streamed. Oh, an interpretation. Okay. I start a web stream, and interpretation will be available in all languages.
This is the first agreement that hopes SAFE to a country outside Europe. Canada chose to join SAFE. Canada chose to pay a financial contribution to do so. It is a partner that has made clear where it stands. We have a very simple vote to make today, but the times we live in are not.

I am pleased that I will lead a SADA delegation to Canada later this month to discuss security and defense cooperation, as well as SAFE. So Boris, now I let you proceed to the vote.
