We visited Brussels last year and met David O'Sullivan, who believed we could use the offices of the EEAS. However, there are logistical difficulties with that, according to the Secretary General of the Department. On a very basic level, a lot of the buildings would simply be too small. We would need purpose-built accommodation so the EEAS is a non-runner as I understand it. I do not want to be negative about this but we must move forward. I ask Professor Tonra to elaborate on his point about new ways of doing things.
