I think they're equally dangerous. On the EU potential, the commission under Commissioner Dimas has been very good at sticking to what should be the considered points, which basically have to do with the conservation issues and with humaneness. Within the commission, he has been very focused. However, he is only one, and there is a tremendous amount of pressure on the commission to follow the will of the Parliament, to follow the will of the constituents. The animal rights groups are very, very active at that.
Secondly, within the individual parliaments, the animal rights groups have recognized that they need to change the focus, and they have been targeting more and more the individual parliaments, which will result in more activities like those in Germany. The problem with those things is that they then turn back in on the EU. Not only do they constitute a legitimization of the animal rights views through those individual parliaments, but it forces back on the EU more pressure to take the action, because their argument is that we're taking the action because you didn't do it. So it just turns back in on itself.
