I thank the Tánaiste for his presentation. He has a very comprehensive agenda for the meeting in Luxembourg on Monday. I am delighted he is bringing to the meeting the proposals agreed at the conference on hunger, nutrition and climate change. I also want to be associated with the humanitarian assistance given by Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. Turkey has an important role to play in the region as the Minister saw for himself last week. It is good that it has re-established diplomatic relations with Israel.
