Zoya Sheftalovich from Politico.  I have a question re the Google ruling.  Have you had any reaction from the US, particularly considering the fact that tomorrow the tariffs that Trump placed, the temporary tariffs, expire?  Are you expecting a reaction on the tariff front from the US administration? 
00:21 - 00:45
Intervenant 6
Thank you for your questions, Zoya.  What I can say about this is that the Commission maintains regular contact with its US counterparts across the full range of our very deep and comprehensive cooperation, and that is also the case as relates to digital matters.  Do we have other questions on this topic?  Razia.

Thank you, Razia Akotch, AFP news agency.  I just want to say, with the usual respect that I have for the SPP, I'm just going to make a complaint that it's kind of not appropriate that we're having this massive, these two big fines, and it's the SPP that is speaking instead of the commissioners.  And this happened last year, April 2025, with Meta and Apple.  So I just wanted to make that point.  Thank you. 

I want to pick up on my colleague's question about in terms of the United States.  There were accusations that the European Commission delayed these fines because of that, so I just wanted to ask what your reaction was to that.  And then I wondered, Google has accused the EU of threatening or degrading their products, services.  I just wanted to know what the EU's reaction is to that.  Thank you.
