The advantage of being part of the negotiations is that we will be able to assess and appraise that during the discussion with Kazakhstan. In the discussions, I have no doubt the Commission will be asking if the human rights protections in Kazakhstan are sufficient. We will have a say and involvement in that. That will be a factor that will be taken into account. As I said previously, there is a human rights aspect to all the other readmission agreements.
