Nobody wants to see that products from Europe are being parts of the Russian war machine, killing people in Ukraine.

But as our HRVP, Kayakala, said, let's wait for the results of the investigation.

I think that there are many...

numbers cursing around.

We don't know what is the truth and what not.

It's first we have to know how really how much is going if it's going to Russia and then we will see.

You know, we have to know what we want, and it is not automatically whatever is done in this company bad.

We have many companies in Europe which are in the hands of Russians.

We just have to see how these ways are, and I hope we will be able to know more very soon.

I think this is a good sign for us.

We have, especially in my Slovenia, so many good memories on your presidency because during your presidency the Big Bang happened and 10 countries, this was the biggest enlargement at all.

So I am in touch with your ministers, with your government for the last few months and I'm encouraged when I see how well prepared they are and especially because they want to give

enlargement process a special place.

Generally, not just the government, also the citizens of Ireland are very much in favour of the enlargement processes.

Why do we need a strong presidency?

For instance, in the enlargement process we can be as much as successful in the technical part if the presidency is not moving on in the council.

With the process, we can't move at all.

So this could be one of the best presidencies speaking about my portfolio.

For instance, since the new commission in 18 months, we have done more in the enlargement than in the previous 15 years.

And now it is rolling so well that I hope that your presidency will have enough energy and motivation really to work hard day and night.
