Hi.  Dafydd ab Iago from Argus Media.  I think it's for Maciej, not for Anitta.  I see it concerns last, well it's not about last week's, well last week's beaching objection to the update of the European shipping recycling list.  I was just wondering, so it's an objection that's, in terms of background, what happens legally? 
00:27 - 00:41
Speaker 7
Does, is the Commission required to change anything in that list or can the Commission decide itself and progress in terms of the European list of recycling facilities?  Thanks. 
00:41 - 00:54
Speaker 3
It is for Anitta, in fact.  As it's an environmental measure.  Anitta? 
00:54 - 01:21
Speaker 6
Yes.  So, we had a, as you are aware, there was a public consultation on this.  We are now going through the results and we are working, indeed, on a 16th update of the European list of ship recycling facilities.  And we are planning to adopt the next update to this list by the end of the year.  That is the cliffhanger that you wanted, right?
