I was just looking at one of the readmission agreements - it is probably a bad example - the agreement with Belarus, which I presume is suspended at the moment. However, it helps to understand the importance of annexes in final agreements. One of the annexes indicates that the EU is committed to making available financial resources in order to support Belarus in the implementation of this agreement. Does the Minister expect that part of the negotiating mandate will include the provision of EU funds and therefore Irish public money towards Kazakhstan at any level?
