The efforts by the European Union to try to place as much oversight, reporting and transparency as can be placed on any state that is on a war footing are very important. They are the sorts of efforts that this national Parliament would want to see and that the European Union would want to see not just in terms of good governance now, but also as a pathway for Ukraine to move to this state. In any conflict or war scenario, corruption is often a concern. The correct allocation of funds in order that the correct people receive the funds for the redevelopment and governance of Ukraine is extremely important. The EU is trying to make provision to Ukraine in order that it gets the necessary funding to enable it to get through this period but also to develop its structures as any candidate country would. That is probably the best and fairest way for me to answer that.
