24/01/2022 | 18:01:38 Thank you, thank you very much, Ms BÖKE. I very much enjoyed the debate and thank you all for your vision and enthusiasm for the reports. I thank Ms Jennifer DE TEMMERMAN as well for this because I think that we have both shown that the reports complement each other. They are about empowering children.
