Madam President-in-Office of the Council, if there is parity of exchange with the dollar, it also, of course, has to be borne in mind that Europe pays in dollars when buying oil and gas, and that there is a natural advantage for the European consumer in this. Do you believe that oil prices in this area are subject to speculation, or that this is attributable to the currency?
