Okay, the model of the troika but the question the Deputy put to me was whether I believe the troika approach to the release of funding is being institutionalised in the future in the context of the MFF. I do not believe it is being institutionalised. As the Deputy has already acknowledged and I have said repeatedly, there are other funding streams for which criteria have to be met in order to access that funding. That already exists within the architecture of European programmes and the same approach is being used with these two new tools.
