Mr. Ivailo Kalfin:

This is a question for all of the agencies. Normally, when an agency is hosted in a country, more people from that country work there. About one third of our members of staff are Irish. Out of 100 people, about 30 are from Ireland. Nobody every raises this issue. Of course, they are in different departments but, for example, we have departments where texts are edited and, for that, your mother tongue needs to be English. This is a basic element of production. We have people dealing with facilities and it is more than normal to have Irish people there but we also have Irish people in research and in management. Ms Arigho is also Irish. In some other agencies, more than 50% of the staff are host-country nationals. We are a pretty balanced agency.
