So, it's a question about sport and I believe it's for Anakaizer with Eva being off.  So, the International Olympic Committee has recently lifted its suspension of the Russians from participation in future Olympic Games.  The reason for that suspension was because they were including participants from occupied territories that belong to Ukraine.  I don't believe that that has changed and yet their decision has changed.  I'm wondering if the European Commission has any kind of response to this, any actions it intends to take, calls to make, etc. 

Thank you.

We view this development with serious concern.  The heads of state and government in a meeting of the European Council on the 18th of June stated the following: "As long as there is no just and lasting peace in Ukraine, there should not be a normalization of Russia's participation in international sport and cultural events."  The Commission fully supports this position and I want to reiterate our steadfast solidarity with Ukraine.
