May I just close our review of clause-by-clause of the bill by thanking every single person on this committee; all I think have worked extremely hard where it was possible to forge compromises, and where not, were incredibly respectful in terms of both tone and manner of debate.

Thank you all so much.

Mr. Fragiskatos, I have to name you. Thank you so much for coming to our committee.
