Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I would like some clarification regarding the Afghan mission and the role of NATO.

I see a difference between having troops on the ground in Afghanistan and continuing to grant funding and advisory services from outside the country.

In your opinion, could it be possible that no troops from any NATO country will remain in Afghanistan after 2014? If we contribute advisory and financial support, will the Afghans be in a position to take over?
