Could the Minister of State raise the five points that I raised at the beginning of my contribution with the Minister? Even if it is difficult for us to be represented there we could co-ordinate with the other donors to make sure there is a diplomatic presence. The EUROMED agreement has human rights protocols and it was supposed to be activated when there were human rights violations by Israel. The United Nations Secretary General has spoken of breaches of articles of the Geneva Convention. Surely it is time that the EUROMED agreement be examined in light of Israel's human rights violations.
