I thank the Minister. It is an agreement that is welcome. These types of agreements are important for smaller EU member states such as ours, particularly in terms of locations where Ireland does not have an embassy. I understand the European Parliament passed a resolution earlier this year calling for a full EU delegation to Mongolia. Has that been agreed at Commission level or is it likely to go ahead? Obviously, it would be of benefit to us when we do not have diplomatic representation in Mongolia.
