Mr. Maurice Quinn:
Every other mission is at our own costs. If one is on an EU mission like the mission in Mali, the principle that is followed is called nation borne costs. "Costs lie where they fall" is the term that is used, so in other words one carries one's own costs and there are no reimbursements or refunds.
