responsibilities that he has left us and me and my colleagues with in order to truly reform this parliament. as you said, give it a fresh face, a more forward looking, become more efficient and effective in the way we do work. but also become more visible and more effective in the way we communicate. i would like this european parliament to be much better present in all member state capitals in all the schools. so that when children look to the european parliament, they can see something that represents their ideas and something that will ultimately protect them. that's if you're up to date, stay with us for d w business, that's up next. don't forget you can always get the latest on our website. that's the w dot. com can follow us on instagram and twitter to our handle. there is at the w news. i'm ami anita, thanks for watching. the news .
