It is a help to know all that is going on. There is no doubt that the public need to know that it is not just a matter of giving and giving, but that there is a structure there - a joint approach on the part of interested parties that are seeking to achieve the very best in protecting Ukraine and people's lives there, but also with regard to money. At some stage or other, it will have to be paid back. I am not talking about Ukraine paying it back but about the European Union being involved, and all of that.
The other part of Mr. Tobin’s opening statement which interested me was the carbon contribution. He is saying that each country pays that.
