I will say, again, that Médecins sans Frontières is mainly funded by private donations. If it takes a view that it will no longer accept donations, that decision remains one for the charity. With regard to Turkey, it remains an essential partner in the very difficult and challenging attempts to manage the current migration crisis. The European Union and Turkey have engaged deeply on developing joint approaches to the crisis, including the deal agreed in March.

It is fair to point out that there has been a very significant decline in the number of people attempting to cross the Aegean Sea from Turkey to the Greek islands since the agreement entered into force in March. While the EU-Turkey deal faces a number of challenges, it is clear that both sides understand the importance of working well together and we will continue to do so in our engagement with our EU partners on this issue.
