Because that will essentially restrict the the EU in a way or the other, but it will also restrict our rights.

And we can see that obviously, of course, with the omnibus packages, right, being voted right now and how um all the the lobbyism that's been done in the European Parliament, um, but also at the Commission level, essentially has destroyed the European Green.

Green deal, but also destroyed our right as consumers, um, and how we are much less protected under under the the rules and regulations that been put in place before the omnibus packages.

And so yeah, I I would conclude on that.

I would conclude that we can be hopeful, but it needs to work hand in hand with a a Commission and the European Union.

That's ready to actively put itself out there and stop acting like this sort of background entity uh of a European uh unity project because it is trying to unify Europe, but at the same time it it doesn't tell anyone what it does.

And also now that every European citizen is very aware of the EU's negative

negative things, its negative policies, we should be us also very aware of its positive policies.

And that can't just be Erasmus programme.

That that has to come through other programs as well.

Oh thank you very much for having me and uh I forgot to mention but uh of course there's a lot of opportunities for for young people out there.

Um I also work at uh Youth Decides two thousand forty, which is an organization under the Horizon grant on the next generation EU.

And so you can go out there as young people and find opportunities to have a real impact if you want to.

And uh I think that

remains very important.

Uh so thank you very much.
