I thank the Deputy for his question. An informal meeting of foreign affairs Ministers will take place tomorrow and on Saturday morning. The main subject for discussion tomorrow is Ukraine and the situation that is taking place in the region. Shortly thereafter, within the next two weeks, there will be a meeting of the foreign affairs Ministers of the European Union at the Foreign Affairs Council, within which I again expect the situation in Ukraine, in Crimea and in the neighbouring region will be the subject and focus of discussion. All of this will take place within the framework that has already been identified. We are now in phase 2 of the framework, where measures against individuals have been put in place, as well as a broader set of measures pertaining to relations between Russia and individual member states and the European Union. I again emphasise it has been made clear that the situation will be reviewed were a further escalation of the situation to occur.
