 Yes, thank you, Mr. President, and thank you, Commissioner, also for stressing the importance of a level playing field in relation to public procurement. The Commission recently adopted a white paper on foreign subsidies in the internal market aiming to counter unfair competition. And my province, the beautiful province of Overisal, welcomes this initiative, because local and regional authorities are also confronted with unfair competition from third country companies. For instance, in relation to our tenders for public transport, Chinese producers of electric buses and railcars enter our internal market while also receiving state subsidies. And meanwhile, it's impossible for European manufacturers to participate in tenders in Chinese metropolitan areas. But it's not just China. In the United States of America, it is mandatory to buy American when it is standard for buses and railcars. So Mr. Commissioner, there is no level playing field and there is no reciprocity at this time. And this hurts our European manufacturing industry and we lose jobs in our regions. And for this reason, I would like to urge you to pay specific attention to the struggles of local and regional authorities in your consultation procedure with a white paper. Can the Commission give us a clear right to exclude manufacturing companies from countries that haven't signed a government procurement agreement in our tenders for public transport? And can the Commission give us more freedom to take into account the interests of European manufacturing industry and employability in tendering procedures? Thank you very much for your attention and Mr. Commissioner, you have our full support in making an end to naive Europe. Thank you very much.
