So what were France's concerns back then? What has shifted? And to what extent France is using this momentum to embed this vision of institutional reform into the accession architecture?

Thank you for this question, Donika.

And let me maybe use it to clarify something.

I think you've said it in your question, but I think a lot was said back in December when there was those discussions on the group and the drafting of Montenegro's accession treaty.

And some used it to portray or to criticize our position.

I just wanted to say a few things.

We never asked for any delay in setting up this group.

Given the current political landscape and relatively low public support for enlargement, which is persistent in almost all member states, how realistic is the parliamentary route? And is anyone in the French government seriously thinking about how to manage ratification? All these non-papers that have been circling now, It feels like as a plan B to what if we cannot ratify the accession treaty in the member states, should we give at least something? So what's your take on that?
