Okay, we can start.  We are perfect on time, so also with the very important votation that we had.  So, we go on item 17, digital networks, amending regulation uh and Directive, and so on.  We have about 45 minutes for the discussion on the digital network act, DNA.  Rapporteur, Mr. Michał Kobosko, will present the draft report for 6 minutes. 

After that, I will invite the shadows to take the floor, 2 minutes each.  We will continue with catch-the-eye, 1 minute each, followed by replies.  I will also invite the rapporteur of the IMCO committee, Mrs. Stéphanie Yon-Courtin, and the rapporteur of the LIBE committee, Ms. Ana Vasconcelos or Vasconcelos probably, 2 minutes each to take the floor.  All members who want to take the floor are invited to put their name plates vertically in their holders.  If time allows, I will invite the Commission representative, Ms. Kamila Kloc, that I also thank for the presence, director for Digital Decade and Connectivity at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, DG CONNECT, to take the floor for 2 minutes. 

So, I have confusion to myself, so for so many names and so many minutes.  I remind everyone to please stick to the time.  So, we start.  I give the floor to Mr. Kobosko to make his presentation for 6 minutes.

Thank you, Madam Chair.  Dear colleagues, two years ago, Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi gave Europe a very clear diagnosis: our connectivity markets are fragmented into 27, investment is lagging and our companies are too small to scale, and we depend on others for technologies that have become critical for our economy and our security.  Since then, the world has not waited for us: networks, cloud, AI and satellites are converging into one digital ecosystem.  Global players are buying spectrum and deciding who stays connected and who does not.  Connectivity has become a question of power and security.
