The whole African continent starting with the Central African Republic, then Mali, then Burkina Faso, now Niger, maybe Gabon, it’s in a very difficult situation and certainly the ministers have to get a deep thought on what is going on there and how we can improve our policy in respect with these countries because this is a big issue for Europe.
