Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I would like to take advantage of the witnesses' presence to find out a bit more about these issues.

Since 2011, 148 persons of Egyptian origin were put on the list pursuant to the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act. Currently, in 2016, no one of Egyptian origin is on that list. Since the situation in Egypt has not necessarily improved, I am wondering why that is.

See context to find out what was said next.
