Thank you very much, Ms. Barbarzak, acting director, economic cooperation department for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. Thank you very much for a very concise and helpful presentation looking at this issue from the perspective of Poland and Europe.
We go now to questions and comments from members.
First of all, I want to welcome all the members of Parliament back from two constituency work weeks. It's good to see you back here.
I want to remind the members of the committee that we're not the foreign affairs committee; we are the natural resources committee, so let's keep our questioning and comments, as much as we can, to the natural resource component. The presentations have done that extremely well, and I encourage all members to do that. We will start the seven-minute round of questioning with Mr. Calkins, followed by Mr. Nicholls, and then Mr. Regan.
Go ahead, please, Mr. Calkins, for up to seven minutes.
