Mr. Janjalia is talking about plans in the area of sectoral co-operation, and looking for benefits from that co-operation with the EU. There are two things to address here. Ireland has a significant number of people coming from Georgia seeking international protection. It is about what Georgia is looking for in the long term from the point of view of work permits or visas, and then addressing that issue. I would also like some more detail. Mr. Janjalia spoke about the tragic circumstances, with Tamaz Ginturi being killed. When we were there we saw the borderisation and all of those particular issues. I would like some detail on those incredibly difficult circumstances, whether we call it hybrid or asymmetrical warfare. It impacts the country and the lives of the people who live there.
