We do have as usual all the documents updated on the FISC website and the work of today is webstreamed on the European Parliament website. We start this hearing, before starting this hearing, let me ask you to adopt the agenda and if there are no objection, the agenda is adopted. And let's go straight forward to the public hearing today on the Closing the loop: How taxation can drive the circular economy. This is a very important issue. The European Union in the last years has been very much involved in a transition which today will be declined on the sense in the sense of, in the relation at least, between the circular economy and the impact of on taxi, what taxation can do to drive the circular economy.
For this purpose, we do have three distinguished guests and speaker.

We do have Madam Valentine Willmann, Senior Policy Adviser, Sustainable Development at SMEunited, Small and Medium United Enterprise.
